Sourced from estate vineyards on the rich Barossa Valley floor, this medium to full-bodied Shiraz showcases the region’s signature bold fruit and spice profile. The wine reflects generations of winemaking heritage with a contemporary approach that highlights varietal purity and regional expression.

Nose: Blood plums and fresh cherries dominate, with underlying notes of brambleberries, blueberry cake and baking spices adding complexity and inviting depth.

Palate: Rich cherry flavours mingle with black pepper and warming spice across a medium-full body, supported by a mesh of ripe yet sturdy tannins that provide structure without heaviness. Dark berry notes weave through the mid-palate with excellent balance.

Finish: Soft and lingering, with gentle tannins and a velvety texture that carries subtle clove and spice notes through to a satisfying close.

This Barossa Shiraz pairs beautifully with slow-cooked lamb shoulder, grilled steak or hearty Asian dishes featuring rich, savoury flavours.

Serve at 14–16°C in a large red wine glass to allow the wine’s aromatics to fully express themselves.

A reliable choice for weeknight dinners, casual gatherings or as a thoughtful gift for the red wine enthusiast who values quality over label prestige.
