Oscar Darby
Australia
Taste this fresh, award-winning interpretation of a classic Australian wine
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Oscar Darby
Shiraz
The last release from Oscar Darby was a modern take on a long established French style, and club members loved the fresh take. We’ve taken that approach and applied it this time to the ever-popular Australian Shiraz. While Shiraz can be bold and over oaked, the Oscar Darby is a lesson in subtlety. With blue fruits and a plush structure, the wine is accessible, but it’s the hints of black pepper and herbs that bring out the complexity. On the palate, there are even notes of vanilla and chocolate, which is why we’ve loved having this on its own as much as we’ve enjoyed it with food. Judges love it too! It took home a silver medal the 2018 Harvest Challenge.

WINE REGION:
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.

TASTING NOTES:
Blueberry
Vanilla
Black Pepper
Perfect ripeness at harvest gives this wine beautiful blue fruit expression, well-balanced alcohol, and lively acidity. This is Shiraz in its most delicate form with black pepper, hint of oregano and broad tannins. Ideal extraction during fermentation provided deep color and round tannins. The oak brings hints of spice, vanilla, and milk chocolate for an elegant subtlety.
