The Lodge Hill Shiraz 2008, Jim Barry, Clare Valley
Clare Valley's relatively cool climate results in reds that are more elegant and freshly fruity than in many other regions of Australia. This Shiraz really epitomises the Clare style, coming from one of the highest altitude, and therefore coolest locations. The inky blackcurrant and boysenberry fruit is lifted by violet and menthol notes, with smooth tannins still providing plenty of grip and a good 5 years' cellaring potential. -
Oxford Landing Grenache Shiraz Mourvedre 2008, South Australia
A modern take on the classic Rhône blend. The raspberry and blackcurrant backbone of the Grenache is layered with savoury, spicy notes from the Shiraz, while a dash of Mourvedre lends bold tannins for a firm structure and added length.
