Taste Profile

Tasting Notes

Rich purple-red with magenta hues, this Shiraz opens with wild foraged berries, plum and a warm dusting of spice. The palate follows through with dark fruit depth, a soft, full shape and a gentle oak note that adds richness without taking over. Fine tannins sit neatly in the background, so the finish feels smooth and satisfying rather than drying. It’s generous, comforting Shiraz — the kind that makes dinner taste better.

Winemaking

Made in a clean, modern Shiraz style that prioritises fruit purity and a soft finish. Fermentation is managed to build colour and flavour without extracting harsh tannin, then the wine is matured with subtle oak influence to round out the palate and bring that gentle spice-and-warmth feel.

Vineyard & Vintage

Fruit is sourced from Angove’s certified organic Nanya Vineyard near Paringa in South Australia’s Riverland. Warm days help build generous flavour, while cooler nights help retain freshness and balance. The vineyard is farmed without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, fungicides or fertilisers, with a focus on maintaining a healthy, living vineyard ecosystem.

Why We Love It

Because it delivers classic Shiraz satisfaction — dark fruit, spice, a plush palate and a smooth finish — without feeling heavy or hard work.

Food Pairing

This is a natural match for slow-cooked meats, warming spice, tomato-based sauces and earthy vegetables. Anything roasted or braised works beautifully, and it’s especially good when there’s a little savoury richness on the plate.
