Holbrook Road

2009 South Eastern Australia Shiraz

Normans Holbrook Road is a captivating 2009 Shiraz hailing from the renowned South Eastern Australia region. This wine showcases a deep red color, drawing attention with its rich, inviting hue. On the palate, it offers a full-bodied experience, well-balanced with high acidity that adds a refreshing lift to the wine's profile. The fruit intensity is prominent, delivering luscious flavors of ripe blackberries and dark plums, accompanied by subtle spice and a touch of oak. Tannins are notable yet approachable, contributing structure without overshadowing the fruit. This dry Shiraz is an excellent choice for both casual gatherings and more formal occasions, embodying the essence of the Australian terroir.

Many of Australia's best wines are made here. From the stunning Shiraz produced around Adelaide to the luscious Sémillons of the Hunter Valley, and from the fragrant Pinot Noirs of Tasmania to the lush Chardonnay of Riverina, nearly every grape variety and wine style flourishes in South Eastern Australia, basking in the sun-kissed Mediterranean climate and rich, varied soils.
