What to Expect

Australia has certainly made Syrah its own, even bestowing it with a new name: Shiraz. In the warm, dry climate of Australia this noble grape, responsible for some of the grandest wines of France, produces an intense, unique expression that is distinctly Australian. The ripe grapes take on classic notes of black pepper and leather that add depth and complexity to the black cherry and plum fruits on the palate. Australian Shiraz has typically been aged in American Oak barrels which impart the wine with a distinct note of vanilla that can add to the impression of ripeness many of these wines have, but the time in barrel also allows the wines a chance to settle and reveal their rich, voluptuously styled mouthfeel.

Winemakers Notes

With concentrated aromas, a rich structure and firm, silky tannins, the Green Point Pinot Noir exhibits distinct characters of dark cherry, chocolate and savouriness accentuated by hints of vanillin and spice derived from ageing in French oak barriques.


Food pairing - serve with quail, pigeon pie, wild mushroom risotto.

Reviews

Wine.com

Blending the regional characteristics from some of Victoria's premium Shiraz districts has created a complex and balanced Shiraz. The pepper and spice of Yarra Valley meshes wonderfully with the sweeter and supple dark berry flavours from Heathcote and Rutherglen. Overall an excellent example of Victorian Shiraz. This wine has a full and rich palate of blackberry, licorice and plums with lovely peppery hints and supple, savoury tannins. This wine will develop in bottle over the next 5 to 10 years.

Rich berry fruit and a touch of white pepper in an easy-to-drink, well rounded style for those who enjoy their Shiraz with soft tannins.
