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.

Gnarly Dudes is a well priced Barossa Shiraz, made with fruit sourced from mature vineyards in the sub regions of Marananga, Greenock and Light Pass. A rich vibrant purple, with ripe perfumed red berries and raspberry on the nose. A succulent palate with soft ripe tannins, filled with rich flavours of spice, black pepper, raspberry, plum and liquorice allsorts with only the merest hint of cedary oak. A wine that is approachable now but will reward further with a few years in the cellar.
