The Balloonist Shiraz 2024
The Balloonist is an elegant, vibrant Shiraz from South East Australia. Approachable and fruit-driven, it delivers dark fruit, savoury spice, and a silky texture at an outstanding everyday price. A reliable, crowd-pleasing red wine that consistently over-delivers for the money. Why You'll Love It Shiraz is Australia's signature red grape, and South East Australia's warm, sun-drenched conditions are perfectly suited to producing the variety's characteristic richness and depth. The Balloonist keeps things fresh and approachable, with a lower ABV of 12.5% that makes it lighter on its feet than many Australian Shiraz. Fruit-forward, smooth, and endlessly versatile, it is the kind of bottle that works equally well on a weeknight or at a dinner party. Vineyard & Production Sourced from vineyards across South East Australia , where the warm climate and diverse terroir produce Shiraz grapes of natural richness and aromatic intensity. Crafted by Ehrmanns, who work with a select network of producers chosen for their quality and responsiveness, the wine is vinified to highlight the variety's vibrant dark fruit character while maintaining freshness and balance. Tasting Notes Deep ruby in colour. The nose offers dark fruit aromas of blackberry and plum layered with savoury spice. On the palate, it is elegant and vibrant with a silky texture and a long, juicy finish. Perfect Pairings A versatile food wine, pairing beautifully with grilled meats, lamb, burgers, and hearty pasta dishes. Also excellent alongside barbecued meats, mature cheddar, or a classic beef stew. The Blend 100% Shiraz
