Description

"This is crowd-pleasingly delicious; lifted aromas of blackcurrant, Black Doris plum, floral, cocoa and vanilla lead to a succulent palate that is plump and fleshy. The wine offers pristine fruit intensity and supple mouthfeel, finishing smooth and delectable" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

"Leave this to open up and you may be confounded by the concentration and palate weight. Very well priced" Metro Top 50 Wines of 2019

Luscious and jammy reds are medium-bodied, full-bodied or very full-bodied wines that combine ripe berry notes and pronounced jammy flavours. You can discern notes of cherry jam, wild berry jam or dark plum in these wines. Ripe tannins add the necessary structure for pairing the wines with food. 

Legend has it that the grape variety originated in Shiraz in the Persian Empire, then made its way to France, particularly the Rhone region, and spread throughout the word to be grown in Chile, South Africa, USA and New Zealand. Anyway legend smedge-end, whatever happened we are all happy it made its way to Australia and is now firmly the country’s iconic wine.

This Shiraz comes from South Australia which is a massively important wine state, responsible for producing almost 50% of Australia’s annual production.

In some countries Shiraz is known as Syrah, which can mean a lighter bodied style, but this is a big old fruit bomb that shows off the grape’s best assets, without being massively heavy.

Food Pairing: Delightful match for roast lamb, beef casserole or hearty pasta dishes!
