About This Wine
The nose comes alive with summer cherries, sarsaparilla and liquorice, with generous amounts of confectionary lolly and clove spice. The attractive strawberry and raspberry hit, balances beautifully with herbaceous stalky notes and plum. Wonderfully complex, ultra-generous and expressively lifted.
Big red fruit flavours of cherry and strawberry, with a dash of sars greet you confidently on the palate. Lovely and rich, the wine shows tonnes of weight in its stature, with an energetic acidity that adds excitement and crunch. Ultra-fine tannins rounds of the mouth feel to this very slurpable and sessionable blend.
A wine built around ‘drink now’ for maximum enjoyment. Pinot Shiraz may seem peculiar, but enjoying the wine with red meat, slow cooked bbq, or even dark chocolate is anything but.

Adelaide Hills
The Adelaide Hills is one of the largest geographical wine regions in Australia, and amongst the most diverse in terms of climate, soil and topography. Because of this, many different varietals are planted here with the most dominant being Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris. It is generally thought of as a cooler region, especially when compared to neighbouring Barossa to the north and Mclaren vale and Langhorne Creek to the south.
NZ Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc has been popular in Australia for a while now, but Adelaide hills Sauvignon Blanc (the most planted grape in the region) could be considered the Aussie Savvy Blanc. From www.adelaidehillswine.com.au about their Sauvignon Blanc: “Wines that are textured, edgy, vibrant and dry with exceptional fruit definition, length and crispness that marry superbly with summer seafood.”
You can also find some cool climate shiraz from the Adelaide hills, defying the more common big bold style that is usually seen in Australian Shiraz.
