Winemaker Notes
Cheery ruby color in the glass, this Shiraz offers fresh aromas of black cherry, plums and fruit cake spice. A little licorice and chocolate compliment the fruit on the palate, with a gentle tannic structure that ensures drinkability with or without food.
A natural choice to pair with meats – try matching with spicy venison sausages, beef bourguignon or lamb moussaka.

Syrah is the most widely planted grape of Australia and is important in California and Washington. Sommelier Secret—Such a synergy these three create together, the Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre trio often takes on the shorthand term, “GSM.”
Quite remote and unequalled in beauty, the wine regions of Westerm Australia promise endless physical and climatic diversity. From the coolest, seaside vineyards to the hottest inland zones, Western Australia is the source of some of the country’s most sought after wines.
