Old Road Wine Co. The Anvil Shiraz
The Anvil is powerful and captivating on the nose, with peppery spice and dark fruit flavours. This is backed up by a bright, juicy palate bathed in oak spice, anise, black berries and a savoury all-spice finish.
Beef brisket, slow cooked oxtail and gooey dark chocolate fondant make brilliant food pairings
Penfolds Max’s Shiraz
Introduced in 2015, Penfolds Max’s Shiraz is a tribute to former Chief Winemaker Max Schubert who served in the role from 1948-1975, a legend in Penfolds history. Max’s constant pursuit of excellence paved the way for those who followed in his footsteps and allowed the status and heritage of Penfolds to grow. A contemporary offering of South Australian shiraz, this release provides a fruit-driven wine which is generous in flavour and persistent across the palate.
Penfolds Shiraz Range St Henri Shiraz
St Henri is a time-honoured and alternative expression of shiraz, and an intriguing counterpoint to Grange. It is unusual amongst high quality Australian red wines as it does not rely on any new oak. Released for the first time by Penfolds in the early 1950s (first commercial vintage 1957), it gained a new lease of life in the 1990s as its quality and distinctive style became better understood. Proudly, a wine style that hasn’t succumbed to the dictates of fashion or commerce. St Henri is rich and plush when young, gaining soft, earthy, mocha-like characters with age. It is matured in an assortment of old large vats that allow the wine to develop, imparting minimal, if any oak character. Although a small proportion of cabernet may sneak into the blend, the focal point for St Henri remains shiraz.
Quion Rock Shiraz
This Rhône-style Shiraz showcases white pepper, plums and cassis on the nose that follow through with a rich textured pallet. The new oak plays a supportive role, adding hints of pencil shavings and oak spice, while still respecting and enhancing the fruit profile on the palate of this well-balanced wine.
Rickety Bridge Shiraz
Savage Red
Spier Signature Shiraz
A Fireside Favourite - This rich, warming red pairs with cosy evenings alongside the fire.
Spicy, ripe plum flavours, easygoing tannins and a creamy aftertaste makesthis your red wine go-to. Add sparkle to even the most humdrum of pizzas (yes, even Hawaiian!). This Shiraz is also gorgeous with seared ostrich or springbok carpaccio.
Survivor Syrah
This intense dark coloured wine has a pungent rich nose of liquorice and black fruits with nuances of cloves, thyme and white pepper. With the aromas being so expressive, one would expect a bold palate, but on the contrary. Being full-bodied and well-structured these aromas are tamed and lay to rest on a layered palate that has a lot to give. With a long and lingering finish, this wine will ask questions of why you haven’t purchased more.
The Sleeper Shiraz
The Winery Of Good Hope Mountainside Syrah
A refreshing Syrah from the Cape shows rosemary and lavender perfume over crushed black pepper and bright plum fruit. Elegant and soft textured yet intense and rewarding. The wine is medium-bodied and lingers to a tapering finish. In an age where Syrah is known for making big, polished and powerful, often sweet-fruited wines, Radford Dale have chosen the path less travelled by showing a restrained and subtle expression of one of the Cape’s most exciting varieties.
