Art by EVOI Blackwood Valley Shiraz 2018
About the wine
Hand made on the slopes of a unique river vineyard
It took 10 long hard years in the game for Nigel to be able to bring us this exclusive Blackwood Valley red. It doesn't get much better than a tantalising, rich, pour-me-more Shiraz. Fermented in small batches and plunged by hand, Nigel has delivered a super-plush wine.
Nigel has captured the essence of the Blackwood Valley, located in the stunning South West of Western Australia. Cool nights and warm days consistently produce grapes with incredible intensity. Nigel has been making wine since 1994 and loves everything about it - the passion, the physicality, the science, the art and making a product that is enjoyed by people.
Get ready for hints of spice and all things nice. Cinnamon, black cherry and liquorice all topped off with a hint of American and French Oak. And, this year a touch of white pepper, too! A Top Shelf treasure that is sure to knock the socks off any red lover.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Nigel Ludlow
You name it, Nigel has probably done it! His skills include diving, glass blowing and flying planes... but winemaking is what he’s super passionate about.
Nigel puts 100% of himself into his work. That’s how he managed to create a 5 star winery from 2 barrels of Chardonnay in his garage, and no cash!
- He says: “I love what I do and I think it shows through in the final product. Without you Angels, I would not have made it through. I thank you from the bottom of my heart”.
