About the wine
Tantalising lighter style Shiraz.
-
Glenn’s love affair with the wine boroughs of South Australia really shines through in this stunning red. He has a knack for picking out the perfect fruit, and here he found premium grapes from a single Clare Valley vineyard to work his magic with.
-
This is a lighter style Shiraz with lovely red fruit flavours. Each sip of this will reward you with bright purple fruit and raspberry characters and a hint of bay leaf and peppercorns, and finish with a pleasing lick of fine tannins.
-
Not only is Glenn a talented winemaker, he’s also a highly-regarded wine show judge - and he’s making this wine exclusively for you. Now that deserves a medal!
Best before
The wine is made to be enjoyed now but it has enough pedigree to develop further over the next 5-7 years if you have a nice cool place to store it and can keep your hands off it
Serving advice
A splash in a decanter is never a bad thing in my view it's a quick way to open up the wine and enjoy it immediately though this isn't necessary as it will slowly breath as it sits in an open bottle which will allow you to appreciate the evolution of the wine from one glass to the next.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Glenn Barry
- Glenn Barry is a South Australian wine wizard, an ex-chief winemaker for Knappstein and a highly respected wine show judge. His philosophy of ‘no boring wines’ ensures a fantastically flavoured flourish in every bottle.
He’s had a stellar career working vintages in big wineries in Italy, the US and Canada, as well as here in Australia. When he tired of years sleeping on other folks' couches, he settled down in South Australia and worked his way up the ranks to Chief Winemaker.
With a ton of medals under his belt and all the right connections, he’s struck out on his own. Now he makes his own wines for us that are fun and interesting to drink. And you can be the judge of that!
