Sir Oscar Darby
South Australia, Australia
A big, bold and black-fruited Australian signature
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Sir Oscar Darby
Shiraz
Nothing is as authentically “Aussie” as a jammy Shiraz. That is exactly what Sir Oscar Darby offers with our 2020 vintage from the vineyards of South Australia. This wine bursts with bold black fruit flavor and peppery spice. Outside of France, Australia is the top producer of Syrah wines; only here they are labeled as Shiraz. These reds are notably bigger and bolder than their French counterparts, focusing more on New World fruit-forward flavors than Old World austerity. While the story of how these wines came to be called Shiraz differs depending on who you ask, there is no question that this European variety thrives in the high temperatures and arid growing conditions of Australia. Wines that embody this Down Under styling worldwide are labeled as Shiraz, even if they come from outside Australia. We encourage you to share this bottle and its story with your closest mates.

WINE REGION:
South Australia
From juicy, full-bodied Shiraz and bold Rhône-style blends to deliciously buttery, oak-touched Chardonnay and surprisingly elegant Rieslings, South Australia is renowned for its wide array of crowd-pleasing wines. The key is the state's diverse geography and climate. With hot, dry regions like Riverland and cool, coastal areas like the Adelaide Hills, winemakers have an incredible range of grapes and styles at their disposal. South Australia is responsible for more than half of Australia's total wine production and makes some of the country's most prominent wine labels. It is also home to world-famous regions like Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale and Clare Valley.
