No two words go together as well as Canberra and Shiraz in the wine world. The favourable terroir and hands on winemaking make Lerida Estate's Shiraz a must have.

With age, the wine will become progressively richer, revealing warmer, more complex flavours, riper berries and a little liquorice.

Intense, textured and showing pure fruit flavours, Jester Shiraz is considered Mitolo's baby G.A.M Shiraz using the same barrels in which the G.A.M was previously aged in.

Made to be upfront and approachable for early appreciation, the Jester Shiraz delivers excellent quality for the price.

Produced from premium Shiraz grapes grown on Coonawarra's famous Terra Rossa soil, this well structured wine exhibits great depth and varietal flavours. This Redman Shiraz drinks well now but will reward 5-7 years cellaring.

Taylors Jaraman Shiraz continues the long tradition of producing flavour rich red wines from premium vineyards across South Australia.

Delicious today, yet will cellar nicely for the medium term.

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.

Full-blown body and richness is its trademark and would be a crying shame not to enjoy a glass with your friends and family this weekend.

Wynns Shiraz continues to be one of Australia's affordable favourites.

Rich varietal characters of plum, spice and pepper are woven through the minty regional notes and framed by fine, firm tannins.

Occupying some of the more elevated land in the Canberra District, Quarry Hill produces a Shiraz with ripe flavours and excellent natural acids; the hallmarks of great cool-climate Shiraz. Aged in a mix of new and older French oak, the wine is bright purple in the glass, follwed by aromas of raspberry, plum, spice and a little pepper. Through the palate, there are flavours of mulberry and plum, fine tannins and a crisp, dry finish.
