The cooler conditions in 2022 saw Luke Lambert deploy shorter maceration times to lessen the stalk influence, which, counterintuitively resulted in a more powerful wine than the 2021.

The 2022 Crudo Shiraz was fermented wild (with 60% whole bunches) and raised in 5,000-litre old oak cask before being bottled without fining or filtration.
 
Showcasing all the youthful and vibrant charm we have come to expect from a Lambert Shiraz, the 2022 ramps up the complexity and elegance to another level.

It's aromatic and lively, with a spine of juicy, blue fruits and spice matched by a distinct mineral lift and remarkable finesse throughout the palate.

Intense, yet light and full of energy, the finish is long with a peppery and earthy flair.

A marvellous release of this wine.
