About this wine

Soft, supple, and irresistibly moreish, this Victorian Shiraz captures the essence of Australia’s ancient vineyards while offering an approachable, everyday indulgence. Sourced from historic soils in Victoria, the wine balances finesse, purity, and structure with the classic eucalypt character and a subtly saline finish typical of the region. Carefully harvested at night and crushed within an hour, the grapes are fermented in temperature-controlled tanks to preserve the bright fruit and avoid harsh tannins. A touch of barrel ageing and a sneaky 5% Malbec addition provide a hint of mulberry fruit and flowery perfume, making this Shiraz dangerously drinkable by the glass. Meet the producer Quintessentially Australian, this range offers consistent quality and hugely appealing, commercial wine styles that have earned a devoted following. Production Fermented at 22–25ºC, the Shiraz is gently pumped over to extract vibrant colour and aromatics. 20% of the final blend is barrel-aged, while 5% Malbec is added at the end to enhance the fruit profile and give the wine a soft, silky elegance. Tasting notes Bright and aromatic on the nose, with a subtle hint of naughty bacon fat. The palate is juicy, expressive, and refined, with soft tannins and a mulberry twist from the Malbec. This is the brightest and most dangerously drinkable vintage yet. Food match Pairs beautifully with Moroccan lamb tagine, roast vegetables, and mature hard cheeses. Grape Shiraz 100%
