Hailing from one of the best Shiraz regions in the world - McLaren Vale, Australia.

After crushing and destemming, the grapes were fermented on skins to develop intense colour and flavour in the wine. Regular mixing over a 10 day period encouraged flavour complexity further. Transferring to a combination of French and American oak barriques, the wine matured over a 12 month period before bottling.

Food Pairing: Beef stew, grilled lamb and brisket.
