On the palate, it showcases opulent notes of dark fruit, such as ripe blackberry and blackcurrant, harmoniously intertwined with layers of spicy black pepper and hints of smokey oak. The wine's bright acidity gives it a lively, refreshing edge, while firm, structured tannins provide a robust backbone, ensuring a lengthy finish. This Shiraz is both complex and approachable, making it an excellent choice for both casual sipping and pairing with hearty dishes like grilled meats and aged cheeses.

Hunter Valley

First planted in the early 19th century, the Hunter Valley initially carved out its reputation with top-quality Chardonnay. But it was the white Bordeaux variety Sémillon that put the area on the international wine map. About 100 miles north of Sydney, the Hunter Valley is characterized by its uniquely low-lying, relatively cool, humid climate. This brings out extraordinary levels of ripeness in the Sémillon grape while keeping alcohol levels moderate. The Hunter is also famed for its world-class Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Verdejo.
