Australian Wine

This is a great showcase of old Barossa vines, some of which are over 115 years old. The Shiraz brings the blackberry core and structure, while the Grenache adds aromatics and textural complexity. The Mourvedre adds spice and earthy notes. This wine is rich with dark berry and savoury, earthy notes. Subtly spicy and woody, with a herbal touch on the palate. This is a medium-full bodied wine that is drinking very well in its youth, but is capable of ageing for up to 15 years.

This is one of our best sellers for so many reasons, including it's attractively affordable price tag and consistent high quality winemaking from South Australian winemaker Johny Quarisa, who makes this smooth, fruity red made from Petit Syrah.

The warm Mediterranean climate in South Australia provides great ripening conditions for the late ripening Petit Sirah grape, which is also known as Durif. This grape is a cross between Syrah and Peloursin and was developed by the late French vine nurseryman, Dr Durif, whose aim was to make a disease resistant red grape variety which retained ripe flavours and body.
