Show Reserve

2006 Hunter Valley Shiraz

The Arrowfield Estate Show Reserve Shiraz from the Hunter Valley is a stunning expression of this varietal, showcasing the region's unique terroir and climate. In its ruby-red hue, this wine offers a full-bodied experience with rich notes of dark berries, plums, and hints of black pepper that create a delightful fruit-forward profile. The high acidity brings a bright, mouthwatering quality, perfectly balancing the wine's intensity and depth. Tannins are notably structured yet soft, providing a velvety texture that enhances the wine's complexity while allowing it to pair beautifully with hearty dishes or be enjoyed on its own. This remarkable 2006 vintage is a testament to Arrowfield Estate's commitment to craftsmanship, making it a truly memorable pour.

Australia

The Land Down Under is famous for taking well-known European grapes and giving them a new personality. From bold, jammy Shiraz to creamy oak-tinged Chardonnay, herbaceous Sémillon to distinctively citrusy Riesling, when it comes to quality, Australian wine can be breathtaking. This is thanks to its variety of climates and terroirs. Australia is roughly the same size as the continental United States, with temperatures ranging from searingly hot to moderately cool. The best regions have warm days and cool nights, tempered by breezes from the Southern and Indian Oceans.
