Shiraz blends with a generous dollop of Mourvèdre in this wine making it a firm favourite of ours! Dense, opulent and spicy, this is a great example of both grape and region alike. If you like your reds on the slightly riper end of the spectrum, then look no further!

Origin: The first recognised wines were made in the Rhône Valley and south-eastern France. Mainly Grown In: One of the world’s leading grapes, it is found in France, Australia, the USA, Argentina and South Africa. Key Facts: Shiraz (or Syrah) is a world-beater. Starting small in the southern reaches of France, it has spread to all corners of the world and is known for producing some of the world’s great red wines, capable of perfume, power and persistence. Wines made and labelled as 'Shiraz' are luscious and fruity, loaded with plum, raisin and plenty of oaky richness. European or cooler climate expressions are often labelled as and referred to as 'Syrah', these can be more savoury and tend towards flavours of olive, black cherry and pepper. Both are equally delicious and are simply a matter of taste! Fun Fact: Though they are the same grape, when this wine is labelled a "Syrah" is often implies that the producer made it in an aromatic and elegant style. But when the wine is labelled as "Shiraz" the producer made the wine in a more decadent black fruited and chocolately style. So it's up to you if you agree with the name the producer chose!
