Kardinia Estate Shiraz 12
Famous for its varietal intensity and structure, this wine is a perfect example of what Hunter Valley can produce. Sourced from premium vineyard sites blessed with ideal growing condition, the fruit was handpicked at optimum ripeness preserving all the delicate flavours and tannins. This full-bodied Shiraz fills the palate with lovely plums and cassis and carries the undertones of oak on a fine tannin structure. The finish is long, juicy and everlasting.
Travis Earth Mataro Shiraz Barossa Valley
"Out of the three traditional red grape varieties of the Barossa, Shiraz, Grenache and Mataro. Mataro and Shiraz have always been my favourites. Shiraz for its bold richness and Mataro for its savoury spice and earthiness. This single vineyard is nestled at the base of the Barossa Ranges in the Krondorf sub-region, it is planted in rich red loamy clay. It is sun struck during the day and is soothed by the cool air falling from the hills at night. The vineyard even though is young in Barossa terms, shows an intensity and complexity usually reserved for older vines. This wine to me is more than what’s in the bottle, it represents the on-going history of my region, the complexity of family and the chance of being able to create something I truly love."
