About the wine
Big and bold Barossa is back
- This is classic Aussie Shiraz, flush with juicy black fruits and barrel-aging spices, like mocha, caramel and vanilla.
- Daryl’s estate Shiraz vineyard, in the Kalimna area of the Barossa Valley, is adjacent to Penfolds—the “mother source” of some of the world’s greatest Shiraz.
- This rich red is a perennial Angel favorite, bold and rich, ready to be served up alongside red meats on the barbie!
Best before
If you prefer bold, juicy, in-your-face wines with more tannin, enjoy it now. If you prefer a softer red, I recommend aging for about 5 years and you'll be well rewarded.
Serving advice
If you're enjoying this wine early, a little aeration can help bring out the fruit and soften the edges. Its best served at room temp, around 68 degrees or a bit cooler.
Food match
Red meats like beef, lamb and game. It is also yummy with Indian food if you want a red wine with this cuisine.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Daryl Groom
- Meet Daryl... a 35-year veteran of the wine biz, credited eight-times as Winemaker of the Year, named by Food & Wine Magazine as one of 11 visionaries to change the world of wine... and oh yes, he served up his wines at the Oscars and Emmys two years in a row! Safe to say, the man's accomplished.
- Working as the senior white and red winemaker at Penfolds, his 1986 Penfolds Grange was arguably one of the top 3 Granges ever made - 98 points from Spectator and Robert Parker. And now that he works for you, he loves showing off wines from Australia and his California home – Sonoma and Russian River Valley.
- Thanks to your funding, Daryl can focus on doing what he loves – making great wine and sharing great wine. And he selects the best barrels he needs and farms to the best quality. "You are a gift from God to a winemaker," he says. "I knew there were Angels in heaven!"
