Elena’s Wines One & Only Shiraz
Melded purple and quite deep. Righteously rustic. Dark and red berry fruits with a savoury and green herbal edge. Violet flowers, aniseed, bay leaf and star anise. A background of soft and drying oak that helps extend the savoury fruit aromatics. Rich and rounded with hints of the earth and of good hardwood joinery. Bright, pert, and fresh red fruits. Alluring from first sip. A chewy, meaty and savoury red wine then ensues, with a wonderful three-way balance amongst the cheerful yet still restrained fruit flavours, the soft and gentle yet present tannins, and the beautifully and quietly persistent acid. Rounded and mouth-filling, yet long and ultimately dry. This is a grown-up’s red wine, hence think of grown-up foodstuffs to drink it alongside. A fava bean and octopus stew, complete with too much smoked paprika and some slices of fried chorizo. A smoked mackerel? We would. Oh, and this bottle suits four people with four appetites and four free lunchtime diary spots.
Agrarian Cultivator Shiraz
Juicy and vibrant, this Shiraz delivers beautiful berry flavours supported by oak influences of spiced Vanilla. Medium bodied in the mouth, this wine will work well with pasta and light meat dishes.
Bento McLaren Vale Grenache
OR Ingoldby Shiraz 750MLx6
Now at optimal drinking age, this Shiraz has softened into a smooth and incredibly easy-going red. The bright plum and berry flavors have mellowed beautifully, trading their "jammy" edge for a rounded, velvety sweetness with just a hint of cracked pepper. It’s light on its feet, completely smooth, and ready to pour and an affordable classic.

Mystery Multi-Regional Shiraz Deal No. 6382
Deep Ruby red with a vibrant purple hue. Fresh, lively aromas of mulberry, blueberry, boysenberry, milk chocolate and spiced plum with an overlay of white pepper. A rich palate with dark berries, plums and cherry dancing on the palate leading towards the mid palate of chocolate, aniseed, white pepper. Silky tannins and French oak flavours aid in the long finish.
