Shiraz! A truly captivating red wine variety, especially here in Australia where it has found a home. Often referred to as Syrah in other parts of the world (most notably its birthplace, the Rhône Valley in France), Shiraz in Australia has developed its own distinct personality.
It is a wine that bursts forth with bold and generous dark fruit flavours. Think ripe blackberries, juicy plums, and sometimes even a hint of dark cherry. Depending on the region and the winemaker's touch, you might also discover layers of warm spice like black pepper, clove, and even a whisper of licorice. Some examples, particularly those with a bit of oak ageing, can offer nuances of chocolate, vanilla, or a subtle smokiness.

Before being renamed The Footbolt Shiraz in 1996, the Old Vine Shiraz (as it was then known) was the first wine to use the term ‘Old Vine’. Always reliably good , Footbolt will always please the serious red drinker. Winemaker Notes Nose: Full of the fresh berries and spice synonymous with McLaren Vale, with a slight eucalypt lift. There is real interest in the secondary characters of sarsaparilla, cinnamon and clove which are expressed more completely as the wine opens up. Palate: Mouth coating and plush with red and purple fruits mingling with orange peel and earth. There is a welcomed kick of five spice on the back palate. The lifted and fine fruit tannins provide structure and pull the wine together nicely.
The d'Arenberg Laughing Magpie Shiraz Viognier is a beautifully blended wine from one of the McLauren Vales great family owned wineries, d'Arenberg. A must try for a Shiraz drinker looking for something a little bit different! Winemaker Notes Nose: As well as varietal dark fruits and spice, the nose features savoury characters of cooked meats, spices and cracked black pepper. Palate: Robust and concentrated with great intensity. The fruit is more expressive on the palate with a touch of raspberry, plum, blackcurrant and blueberry with underlying spice and just a hint of savoury oak. The mineral silky tannins build nicely on the palate and provide good structure and impressive length. This wine will benefit from bottle age and if cellared correctly will drink well over the next 15 years.
