"14.5%. Dark ruby-garnet, showing a delicately watery rim. An extremely seductive bouquet, with intense, essential nuances of peppermint and eucalyptus, hints of blueberries, and chocolate notes; multifaceted. Substantial, chocolaty, round, and harmonious, with perfect tannins; sweet and never-ending, with a fine acid structure showing in a mineral-saline finish that never stops. A great, fully cinematic palate experience.

Renowned for powerful, richly fruited Shiraz, most famously from the Barossa Valley, alongside age-worthy Cabernet and cool-climate whites. A warm climate and old, ungrafted vines produce wines of generosity and depth.
The world's most planted premium red grape, yielding deeply colored, tannic and structured wines with cassis, cedar and graphite notes. Firm tannins and acidity make it exceptionally age-worthy, whether as a varietal or the backbone of a Bordeaux blend.
Syrah (Shiraz) produces dark, powerful reds with black fruit, pepper and smoked-meat notes. It yields elegant, perfumed wines in the northern Rhone and bold, rich styles in Australia.
