Camino Shiraz Named in Nick Ryan’s Top 100 Wines of the Year

We’re absolutely delighted to share that Camino Wine Co has been featured in Nick Ryan’s Top 100 Wines of the Year in The Weekend Australian Magazine (15–16 November edition).

Our 2021 Camino Marananga Paradigm Vineyard Shiraz earned a place in the prestigious Top 20 Reds Over $40 list—an honour that means a great deal to us.

We’re thrilled to share Nick Ryan’s review in full:

“A former career soldier turned winemaker, Jason Barrette applied the discipline of his first career and the benefits of being part of the Penfolds winemaking team for the second to his new venture – with compelling results. This comes from an old Barossa vineyard with some heavy-hitting industry knowhow behind it, and it shows. It's dark and brooding, packed with black and red fruits, cocoa nibs, dark earth and ironside. It's precisely pitched, muscular but not cumbersome, powerful but perfectly poised. Outstanding. 96 Pts.”

We are incredibly grateful for this recognition and extend our thanks to Nick Ryan, The Australian, and The Weekend Australian Magazine for supporting Camino and championing our work. A big congratulations also to all the other producers who made this year’s list.

The 2021 Camino Marananga Paradigm Vineyard Shiraz is now sold out. Jason chose not to produce a 2022 release, but we are excited to share that our 2023 Marananga Shiraz is not far away.
