What it tastes like

Blackberry · plum · bold spice

Mt Monster Shiraz is a bold and generously flavoured Australian red wine from South Australia’s Limestone Coast, known for producing rich, well-structured styles. It opens with lifted aromas of ripe blackberry, plum, and dark cherry, layered with hints of black pepper, spice, and subtle oak. Full-bodied and smooth on the palate, it delivers juicy dark fruit flavours supported by soft tannins and a warm, rounded mouthfeel. The finish is long and satisfying, with lingering notes of spice and dark berries. Its rich yet approachable style makes it ideal for both casual dining and hearty meals. Best served at room temperature, it pairs beautifully with grilled meats, barbecue dishes, and savoury pasta.

The story of Mt Monster Shiraz

Shiraz is the grape the Bryson family plant most of at Padthaway, close to half of their 178 hectares of vineyard, and Mt Monster is a label the family launched in 2005. The name belongs to a granite outcrop north of the vineyard, overlooking the Limestone Coast.

The soil is terra rossa and the climate is cool, which suits slow ripening. After the ferment, which runs in static tanks at controlled temperatures, the wine stays on its skins for seven to ten days. That extended contact is where the soft, fleshy tannins come from. French and American oak is used sparingly, so the fruit stays in front.

The colour is a deep purple. Ripe cassis and black plum lead on the nose, with a lift of violet, and the palate is fruit driven, with dark berries and spice. The tannins are soft and the finish is full and generous.

That softness makes it an easy wine to match. Sausages off the barbecue, a slow-cooked lamb shoulder or a mushroom and thyme pasta all sit well alongside it.
