Description

Our Lock & Key Shiraz has built it’s own reputation for consistently producing high quality, cool climate Shiraz well above it’s price point. All the fruit is sourced from our high altitude, single vineyard in Hilltops, Southern NSW.  We believe a key element of all ‘Moppity Shiraz’ comes from the art of blending small batches of different blocks and clones to produce wines that have a kaleidoscope of flavour and textural profiles. Moppity Vineyards; winner of the Great Australian Shiraz Challenge in 2014 & 2016.

Reviews

Vintage 2021

“This is upfront and sweetly ripe on the nose with dark plum, cherry, clove and hazelnut characters with a hint of floral overtone. The medium-full-bodied palate offers plump mouthfeel and silky texture, making it flavoursome and fabulously drinkable. At its best: now to 2031.”  Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

Vintage 2018

“Squeaky clean, well ripened, fresh, medium in weight and polished. It doesn’t put a foot wrong, and drinking it is a pleasure. Red berries more than black, woodsy spice notes rather than any overt oak. You can buy with confidence.”  Halliday Wine Companion

Vintage 2017 

“..black fruited presence with cool climate peppery twists; tannin fine, running long with flavour across the palate. What strikes me is the offer of fruit, of place, balanced, with presence and persistence.”  Stuart Robinson, Vinsomniac

“Expressing pristine fruit and perfumed aromas, the inviting bouquet shows red cherry, plum, violet, thyme and toasted almond characters. The palate delivers excellent weight and textural mouthfeel, elegantly framed by silky tannins, finishing persistent and attractive.”  Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

“This wine shows its cool climate heritage with aromas of dark berry fruits, savoury tones, vanilla and hints of spice whilst being complex and interesting. Pepper spice at front dark balanced with dark berry fruits, savoury and complex. The tannins are balanced and soft to achieve a harmonious full mouthfeel. The finish is long and smooth and stays with great length.”  Stephen Read, Wine Matrix

“A juicy, spicy light-bodied shiraz that has won a string of trophies over the years…”  James Halliday

Vintage 2016

“It is a wine built around it’s texture and structure, the dark berry and earthy flavours held within mouth-watering tannins.” James Halliday 

“.. Lock and Key 2016 stands out for its beautiful, sweet perfume – both floral and fruity at the same time. The juicy palate continues the floral–fruit theme, offering great depth of flavour and round, soft, fine tannins. It’s a great example of the seductive Hilltops style and a worthy winner of gold at the 2017 Royal Melbourne Wine Show.”  Chris Shanahan

Vintage 2014

“This is a beautifully styled and refined expression of the variety, exhibiting dark plum, blueberry, game and mixed spice characters with toasted nut undertones. The palate is concentrated and beautifully weighted, while remaining focused and tightly structured. The wine is elegant, yet powerful, and is impressively long on the finish.”  Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

“Good hue and depth to the colour; a prime example of cool grown shiraz, its quality conferred by the 40 year old estate vineyard and skilled winemaking. Blackberry and plum fruit drives the bouquet and medium to full bodied palate, with a touch of choc-mint adding to the flavour parcel, ripe tannins to the structure.  James Halliday, Wine Companion

Vintage 2013

“The texture and structure are outstanding, the cool grown mix of real cherry, plum, spice and licorice ditto. Fantastic value.” James Halliday, Wine Companion

    I’m afraid not, at this stage our primary focus is on the vineyard. We are committed to a continued effort, to invest and improve upon our site because we see so much potential in it. And to be honest, we enjoy being low-key (probably why it’s taken us 5 years to create this website)!

    Where can I buy your wines?

    We make small batch artisanal wines, and we choose to work with independent outlets that share a similar passion for quality over profit. You won’t find any of our wines in any of the supermarket superpowers, our philosophies are far too far apart (like ying and yang), but if you would like to contact us via orders@moppity.com.au or 02 6382 7997 we can tell you where your nearest outlet is, and now you can buy wines direct from our website.

    If you aren’t home at the time of delivery, and you haven’t opted for your wine to be left unattended then it will be redirected to your local post office and a delivery notification will be left in your letterbox.

    Which delivery company do you use?
