Priory Hill shows us why Australia and Shiraz go firmly hand in hand. There are many styles, and this is all you’d hope for, with its gorgeous, ripe, blackberry fruit and lingering, smoky spice. Easy going and a bit too moreish for its own good!
Tasting notes
Again ripe blackberry, raspberry, smoky spice and vanilla
Aroma
Ripe blackberry, liquorice, smoky spice – classic
Our Buyer Down Under is a fast mover. You have to be when you get to hear about a great parcel of wine that’s in need of a home. Especially right now when Australia’s wine exports to China are growing exponentially (up 63% year on year). Get your share of this delicious, big on fruit red. It showcases Australia’s best loved red grape, Shiraz – a bolder, riper take on France’s Syrah. Priory Hill isn’t a hefty wine for laying down, it is crafted to be a very versatile and tasty glassful. Using parcels of grapes from a variety of vineyard sites, it combines ripe fruit with a bite of freshness and lots of smoky vanilla spice, which all adds to its moreishness. An ideal red for a barbecue, it’s great with a range of everyday suppers too.
