The Story Behind the Bottle
You don’t often see intensely dark Petit Verdot combined with spicy rich Shiraz. Partly because there's not much grown in Oz! It's native to Bordeaux, where it adds generous tannins and inky depths to French reds. In Australia's heat, however, those tannins are tamed and it brings peppery notes and dense fruit to the party. Add in Shiraz's characteristic bramble fruit, with a rich helping of smoky spice, and the result is this tasty red. It's from a 60-year-old winery that's family-run from top to toe. With the largest plantings of Petit Verdot in Oz, they know how to make the grape shine. For this 2020 they use small, top-quality parcels from select vineyards. Deliciously dark, it's a red to be enjoyed with grilled meats or veggie stews.
