An attractive deep violet colour in the glass. Lifted fruit aromas of liquorice, black olive and allspice speak of vineyard rather than the winemaker’s toolkit. When tasted, powerful fruit flavour matched to medium weight is cut with a fine textural tannin input. The long in flavour finish, is matched to fresh natural acidity that completes/balances the wine. An age-worthy refined wine.
 
Halliday 2021 - Review
"Hand-picked, crushed, destemmed, inoculated yeast ferment, barrel age in French oak for 12 months. From Geelong's Barwon Valley, Ceres Bridge has risen after a rough start to produce some stunning wines, the polished and evocative Paper Mill shiraz among them. This is one smart wine. Deep purple-garnet. Arresting pomegranate, blueberry, black cherry fruits mingle with black olive savouriness, thyme and brown spice. It's a smooth operator with plushness and concentration. In perfect balance."
