TASTING NOTES:

Cherry

Oak

Black Pepper

While still a steadfast example of classic Aussie Shiraz, our wine leans to the brighter side of that style. Tingly black pepper aromas introduce a plush palate featuring bursting Bing cherry flavors and tart red fruit jam. Subtle hints of leather and oak notes add complexity to a juicy finish.

ABOUT THE BRAND:

Wave Hill Council

In the Northern Territory of Australia, Wave Hill is the famous site where the Wave Hill walk-off took place in 1966. During this peaceful protest, the region’s aboriginal stockmen and domestic workers went on strike, demanding the return of the area’s native lands to the indigenous Gurindji people and improved working conditions. This strike ended after seven years when the local government finally agreed to their terms, making this event the first major victory of the fight for Aboriginal land rights in Australia. At Wave Hill Council, we salute the tenacity, passion and grit of these origins. Each of our wines is bold and full of life, having been crafted with history in mind and with respect for those who got us where we are today.
