Franklin Tate's Single-Vineyard Shiraz from Margaret River's Alexander's Vineyard

The 2019 Franklin Tate Estates Alexander's Vineyard Shiraz is a single-vineyard expression of cool-climate Margaret River Shiraz — restrained, savoury and built on bright fruit and fine tannins.

My Wine Man on Franklin Tate

Franklin Tate is the founder of Tate Estates, a celebrated Margaret River producer. Alexander's Vineyard is one of Margaret River's most respected single-vineyard sites, producing Shiraz of finesse and aromatic precision.

Tasting Notes

Bright crimson. Black pepper, blueberry, dark cherry, violets, dried herbs and a fine mineral thread. The palate is medium-bodied with fine, savoury tannins and a long, peppery finish.

Style & Drinking Window

Medium-bodied cool-climate Margaret River Shiraz. Drinking well now and through 2030. Decant 30 minutes.

Food Pairing

A cool-climate Margaret River Shiraz pairs beautifully with lamb. We love it with Australian Grass-Fed Lamb Cutlets from My Meat Man — quickly grilled with rosemary, garlic and a crack of black pepper, a magnificent match for Alexander's Vineyard's peppery, cool-climate character.
