The Riverina wine region, located in south-central New South Wales, is one of Australia's largest and most productive wine regions, accounting for a significant portion of the country’s wine output. Centred around the city of Griffith, Riverina has a warm, dry climate supported by extensive irrigation from the Murrumbidgee River, enabling consistent, large-scale viticulture. While the region is best known for its high-volume production of popular varietals such as Shiraz, Chardonnay, and Merlot, it also has a reputation for producing premium-quality botrytis-affected Semillon, often referred to as Australia's answer to Sauternes.
The combination of fertile soils, reliable sunshine, and water access has made Riverina a powerhouse for both domestic consumption and export markets. Despite its industrial scale, the region is home to a growing number of family-run wineries focused on quality and innovation, adding diversity to its wine offerings.

With 1 Trophy and 3 Gold Medals, might just make this wine a bargain. Australian Shiraz has forged an enviable reputation for the huge unrestrained flavours that are exemplified by this wine. Perfect with slow cooked rich sauce roasts or strong cheeses! Winemaker Notes The Black Shiraz is an extreme example of this style, deep colour, huge palate and high alcohol. The 2014 Black Shiraz upholds the tradition with strong blackberry and plum aromas over toast, vanillan and spice. The palate is full flavoured and intense with rich blackberry, plum, blueberry and spicy characters. The tannins are very ripe and dense giving great structure and length to the palate.
Medium ruby and youthful in colour, the wine presents vibrant and bright. An elegant bouquet featuring layers of black fruit with hints of tobacco and spice.
