Flowstone Moon Milk Red Shiraz Grenache 2023
Flowstone Moon Milk Red Shiraz Grenache 2023
Stuart@Flowstone: Sourced from a few vineyards in the centre and south of Margaret River. The southern vineyards lend and almost Rhone austerity, while still retaining lovely aromatics. The flavours blend expertly on the palate, creating a generous and velvety taste with lively, fresh notes. Blend: 65% Shiraz, 33% Grenache, 2.% Viognier.
Tasting Notes
Medium-bodied with a juicy fruitiness and a crunchy texture. Deep and vibrant red/purple, with purple notes. The colour is extraordinarily dense, and full of vibrance. Plums, mulberries, poached strawberries, red fruits, lifted cherry notes, spice and dark chocolate. An engaging and enticing array of aromatics that is very hard to put down.
Plaudits
Review of 2022: A neat little blend of shiraz grenache and highly aromatic viognier. The intent has been to use winemaking techniques to gently extract colour, flavour and tannins to create a soft and smooth palate. Lovely mix of plum and licorice with a slight sweet confectionery character. It’s medium bodied and so supple and seamlessly smooth. Ray Jordan 95 points.

About Winery
About Winery
You’d have no idea Stuart Pym, who humbly bounces around in overalls, is such a revered and highly-awarded winemaker with over 40 years of experience – his winemaking resume reading like a who’s who of the pioneer Margaret River estates.
Flowstone is his own special project – where he’s unincumbered, freewheeling and freestyling, to put all his love, care and creativity behind the wines he loves. There is no real cellar door here, but I often drop in to visit and he always leaves me wiser and happier. I’m excited to share Flowstone with Midnight Cowboy wine people.
James Halliday.
Veteran Margaret River winemaker Stuart Pym’s career constituted long-term successive roles: beginning with Voyager Estate in ‘91, thereafter with Devil’s Lair, and finishing with Stella Bella in ’13, the year he and Perth-based wine tragic Phil Giglia established Flowstone Wines. In ’03, Stuart purchased a small property on the edge of the Margaret River Plateau in the beautiful Forest Grove area.
