2008 MadFish Gold Turtle Shiraz Reviews

“The MadFish brand is part of the esteemed Howard Park group and the Gold Turtle series is an elite pick of fruit from its regional selection, here out of one of WA's coolest wine districts. The coolness gives the shiraz a slowed down, relaxed profile, as if it's sitting back in an old comfortable chair and be hanged with all that fashionable brashness from other big shiraz districts. Balanced French oak, crimson berries and a dusting of spice.”

“...a good expression of cool-climate southern WA shiraz, of which I'm quite fond. This light, medium-bodied wine has aromas of blackberry, dark cherries, spice and a subtle hint of vanilla oak. It's smooth in the mouth with plum fruitcake and blackberry flavours with an appealing meatiness that seems common in 2008 Great Southern shiraz. There is a good length there too.”
