Shiraz is Australia’s highest profile and best known wine and this vintage was awarded a Gold Medal winner by the Daily Wine News. A deep ruby color, with a rich nose of fresh fruity plums and spices. An earthiness unfolds with licorice, cloves and oak. Well balanced, soft and juicy, with a complex structure. The wine is deliciously robust. Serve with beef, lamb, Greek dishes or spicy entrees.
The shiraz grape initially came to Australia over 100 years ago from its home, Hermitage, in the Rhône area of France. Due to extensive replanting in France, many think the Australian vines are purer and represent the varietal better than what you can find in France today. Shiraz is grown throughout Australia and is typically bottled as 100% Shiraz.
