Tasting Notes

Thousand Candles Gathering Field Shiraz 2021

Natural fermentation with 20% whole bunches, matured in older French oak. A super-bright crimson purple. Fully deserving of its gold medal at the 2022 Yarra Valley Wine Show, this opens with aromas of blackcurrant pastilles, boysenberries, black pepper, floral notes and a little charcuterie. Just as good on the medium-bodied, youthful and very well-balanced palate, which finishes with gently chewy, very fine-grained tannins and a little spice. 96 Points, Special Value - Philip Rich, Halliday Wine Companion

The story of a Thousand Candles is one of a unique and beautiful Yarra Valley site, and the careful custodianship of the vigneron Stuart Proud. Together this has created a range of exquisite, handcrafted Estate wines that are fine, pure and delicious. A focus on Pinot Noir, grown with a holistic and biological, minimal intervention approach. These wines are refined and timeless.
