Minotaur Reserve Shiraz 2022
This is a Maxwell Estate wine.
The pride of Maxwell, our Minotaur Reserve Shiraz, is made from the finest-quality grapes grown on our 50-year-old vines planted on the limestone ridge of the Maxwell Estate.
Our Minotaur Reserve Shiraz conveys the power and intensity of its namesake, the fearsome might of the half-man / half-bull Minotaur of Greek Mythology. Aged for 36 months prior to release, the rich complexity and bold structure of this wine makes it the perfect additrion to your cellar or wine fridge.
Maxwell Maze
Visitors to Maxwell's Estate will stumble across our conifer maze lying at the feet of the Maxwell Winery. We welcome guests to discover the hidden corners and intricacies of the maze and see if the Minotaur does indeed lie within.

97 Points | Wine Orbit - Sam Kim | April 2024
"Opulent and gracefully rich, the wine is packed with dark fruit richness with vanillin oak, cake spice, cedar and cocoa notes. The powerfully concentrated palate displays multi-layered mouthfeel, combined with plush texture and beautifully melded tannins, finishing sumptuous and gratifying. It's impeccably harmonious and persistent. At its best: now to 2040."
92 Points | The Real Review - Stuart Knox | June 2023
"Rich and ripe nose of blueberry preserve, dark chocolate and vanilla aromatics. Palate is equally rich and enveloping with dark fruit compote filling the senses whilst chocolate and vanillin characters evolve as it flows long and coating to the finish. A blockbuster wine that still carries enough framework to ensure focus to the end."
