Vibrant purple in colour, there are lovely aromas of dark red fruit and violets. The medium bodied palate is superb focussed and balanced, showing ripe black fruit with elegant, fine tannins.

 

 

The Story

Our Shiraz is hand picked in April, matured in oak, and bottled the following March. The Shiraz grows at the lower end of the north facing slope of our vineyard. The vine rows end where the creek winds through a wilderness area sheltering swamp hens and maned geese.

Trophy "Best Wine of Show" & Gold Medal : 2008 Australia / New Zealand Organic Wine Show.

“When I tasted the first wines from Random Valley vineyard in Margaret River a couple of years ago, I wasn't all that impressed. When I tried the latest vintages a couple of weeks ago, judging the Organic Wine Show, I was very impressed indeed.

Random Valley’s fabulously intense, focused 2007 Shiraz and bright, vibrant 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon (both about $20 a bottle) were the only two reds to be awarded gold medals in the show; the shiraz also won the trophies for Best Red, and Best Wine of Show. What’s more, Random Valley’s shiraz and cabernet from the cold 2006 vintage won bronze medals – the cabernet in a herbal but juicy style, the shiraz in peppery, spicy mould – a real achievement given how difficult the growing season was (www.randomvalley.com).” Max Allen, The Australian, July 2008
