Last year we were lucky enough to get our hands on the Golden Lion RESERVE shiraz from Lou Miranda. We thought it was a rare occasion, but we’ve played our cards right and are ecstatic to bring you the 2018. It’s an equally as excellent wine that feels kinda like welding a jet engine to the back of their regular shiraz. Power and other-worldly levels of deliciousness.

This isn’t our first rodeo with this particular house of Barossa legends. However, this is the first of which we snapped up every bottle. This is a special cuvée, an homage to the vineyard that represents the backbone of this particular winery: old vine Barossa shiraz. It’s hard working, relentlessly giving, and concentrates all its goodness in small, powerful doses. If you’re like us, you can taste Barossa shiraz when you hear it mentioned, but this is not like the rest. Think ripe yet firm, impressive yet restrained, loud yet humble. Begging to be drunk and enjoyed now or for a number of years to come.

This Barossa Shiraz is big, bold and generous. Scarlet with russet tones and aromas of dark plum and blackberries are to be discovered. The palate is full and juicy. Drink now or cellar up to 8 years.

The Nosey Parker simply delivers in spades. Swathes of sweetly spiced blackberry woven with pencil shaving oak, backed up by a rich, powerfully long palate. The Nosey is a very versatile wine in that it is perfectly suited to be enjoyed on its own or is equally at home when paired with rich and flavoursome cuisine.
