Schioppettino is a fairly obscure variety even back in its homeland, but there has been a resurgence of planting in the last 30+ years turning it around to be almost cult like.

While smelling rich and intense, it's medium bodied with fine sandy tannins and a crunchy finish.

Dark and brooding, earth and spice, florals and savoury herbs. Dark in colour and yet, fresh and lively, very easy to drink.

Wow, what a blockbuster full-bodied red! If you're looking for the perfect wine to match with that thick-cut BBQ steak, Hereford Shiraz is your answer.
