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.

The 2006 Wolf Blass Gold Label Shiraz is a vibrant deep red in colour with purple hues. This wine exhibits lifted aromas of blueberries, blackberries and dark plums overlain with lifted anise and smoky oak. Full, round and soft, this wine shows excellent depth across the palate,balanced with good acidity and fine, long tannins. Pair with a warm, hearty dish such as slow roasted lamb shanks with tomato relish and creamy pepper mashed potatoes.

Peppered beef jerky and leather aromas. Deep dark ripe raspberries and good spice, well integrated oak and leather. A nice big wine, but so smooth.
