About the wine
.
- If you loved the Balthazar Barossa Shiraz then you'll love Ishtar - plus, you'll be able to drink it everyday because it's a step or two down in price bracket making it a winner from day one in our eyes.
- Anita, the very talented winemaker behind it, calls it a 'Great barbecue wine for carnivores'. We'd leave out the barbecue and just drink it with huge steaks all year round thanks to its big, ballsy damson fruit flavours.
- Made in very small quantity (only 500 cases) this is not going to last, so grab it whilst you can.
