RATINGS

96+ The Wine Advocate

...profoundly scented of warm mulberries, prunes, dark chocolate and plum pudding with an undercurrent of allspice, cinnamon stick, aniseed, mincemeat and salami plus a whiff of potpourri...offers a multilayered powerhouse of spice and dried fruit flavors with very crisp acid to enliven and a medium to firm level of grainy tannins to lend support. It finishes very long, spicy and a little warm.

92Wine Spectator

Dense, plush and rich, with red plum and black raspberry flavors that extend into the long and explosive finish. Not for the faint of heart. Impressive stuff, but more similar to Port than table wine.

REGION

Australia, South Australia, Barossa Valley

South Australia is the nation’s most important wine region. South Australia is to Australia what California is to the U.S. About half of Australia’s wine comes from South Australia and many of the country’s most acclaimed producers are there. Wineries based in South Australia include Penfolds Grange, Torbreck, Amon Ra, Henschke and Jacob’s Creek. The prestigious Barossa Valley is located in South Australia, and is often compared to Napa Valley because it is gorgeous topography covered in grape vines. First farmed by 19th century German-speakers who immigrated from what is now Poland, the Barossa Valley is the crown jewel of the region. South Australia has widely varying climates, from very hot, dry areas to cooler, high altitude areas. There are more than 150,000 acres of vineyards in South Australia, with more being planted each month. Shiraz is king, though the region also produces Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache, Mourvedre, Chardonnay and Semillon.

TYPE

Red Wine, Syrah (Shiraz)

This grape is grown in milder climates and produces a medium-to full-bodied wine. It is also known as Shiraz, but should not be confused with Petit Sirah, which was developed by crossing Syrah with Peloursin.
