About the wine
Sleek, fruit-driven Australian Shiraz from your own Clare Valley expert
- This robust Australian Shiraz packs a velvety punch of blackberry, blueberry and a dapple of spice, with a soft, silky smoothness that carries every flavor through to a long, juicy finish.
- Your funding helped Adam source this superb Shiraz from a pair of top-notch dry-farmed vineyards in a small, revered corner of world-famous Clare Valley, one of Australia’s oldest wine regions that your winemaker also proudly calls home.
- Thanks to your support, Adam was able to give this Aussie Shiraz an extra bit of love, and aged it all in lavish French oak barrels for 18 months, giving every layer of refined flavor an added touch of finesse – all just for you.
Best before
This Shiraz is wonderful now but if you plan on aging it a little, the wine will also develop even more complex flavors over the next 5-8 years. If you do plan on storing some, grab 6 or more bottles and try one every 6-12 months until you find a level of development that you find most enjoyable.
Serving advice
If you can, it's best to decant this red or at least to let it air out and open up a little prior to serving it.
Food match
A perfect savory pairing with this Shiraz would be short beef ribs smoked with sweet paprika, garlic and black pepper. But it's also stunning all on its own - add a few of your favorite people, some good conversation and it's perfect!
