Michael Shiraz is Wynns Coonawarra Estate’s best-of-vintage Shiraz. Named after David Wynn’s young son, the fruit used for this wine comes from the best vineyard sites in Coonawarra and is only made in years when the best quality fruit is available. The wine is a legend of the Australian wine story with good examples of the 1955 Michael offering an outstanding experience.

"Another beautiful release, with undulating length through the finish. I bet it'll live an elegant age. 97 Points."
"Deep crimson. Finish claret firm with cedar notes. Will develop very well. 14 months in new and seasoned French oak hogsheads and barriques. Drink 2024 – 2036. 95 Points."
Whilst Coonawarra received adequate winter rains leading into the growing season, judicious irrigation from the Limestone aquifer was important in maintaining soil moisture levels at flowering and set. The 2019 growing season was cooler than 2018 and more closely aligned to long-term weather data. Vines canopies remained in excellent condition through to the end of harvest; significantly benefiting from the typically cool nights created by the Southern Ocean. Picking dates were also close to long term average. 2019 was an excellent, classic Wynns vintage – medium bodied.
