Sourced from South Australia’s premier Shiraz-growing regions, this wine benefits from barrel maturation that adds complexity and depth without overwhelming the fruit. The hot, dry growing conditions produce grapes with natural richness and intensity, characteristics that define this regional style. Wakefield Estate’s St Andrews range represents accessible quality for everyday enjoyment and special occasions alike.

Nose: Mixed berries and dark plum dominate, with soft floral notes and hints of spice. Gentle oak influence adds vanilla undertones, while black cherry and ripe berry aromas provide immediate appeal.

Palate: Sour cherry, dark plum and blueberry flavours combine with red fruit intensity across a richly textured, full-bodied frame. Light liquorice and spice notes add depth and complexity, balanced by well-integrated oak and smooth tannins. The wine displays impressive density without heaviness, maintaining approachability throughout.

Finish: Considerable length with lingering silky tannins and persistent berry notes. The oak maturation contributes a velvety smooth texture that extends the experience, with spice and dark fruit echoes fading gradually.

Pair this Shiraz with barbecue ribs glazed in sweet-spicy sauce, grilled sausages, tandoori prawns, or roasted root vegetables for memorable food and wine harmony.

Serve at 16-18°C in large red wine glasses to allow the dense purple colour and complex aromatics to fully express themselves. The back label features a unique temperature sensor to indicate ideal serving conditions.

This wine suits red wine lovers seeking bold Australian Shiraz character, home entertainers planning dinner gatherings, and gift buyers looking for impressive presentation with substance to match. The St Andrews range punches above its price point, making it an excellent choice for both casual weeknight pours and more considered weekend dining.

A compelling option for anyone building a versatile red wine collection with emphasis on fruit-forward, oak-influenced styles from Australia’s most celebrated Shiraz regions.
