Jen Pfeiffer The Rebel Shiraz 2021
About the wine
Rich and voluptuous!
- Just as Jen is a legend of the Naked Wines story, her Rebel Shiraz is a leading light in her range of beautiful Victorian wines. It has been consistently heralded by Angels with buy-again ratings over 92% every vintage!
- Punching well above it's price point, the nose has plenty of ripe plum and berry fruit with hints of chocolate. The palate is full, rich and smooth, with lots of mid palate fruit and a long finish.
- This Shiraz is a blend of various vineyards so as to get a beautifully consistent wine. With all Jen's TLC at each step of the winemaking process, the overall balance of the wine is tough to resist with good length and tannin that rounds out the experience beautifully. It's definitely for lovers of rich, full bodied reds, especially at under $10!
Best before
I recommend ageing my Rebel Shiraz for the short to medium term. It's so very hard to resist now, but it will mature beautifully for another 4 years until 2025.
Serving advice
I recommend serving my Rebel Shiraz at 16-18C, and opening or decanting for a couple of hours before serving.
Food match
My Rebel Shiraz is very versatile, with its generosity of flavour making it a great match to a range of dishes.
It is fabulous with barbequed mixed vegetable kebabs, slow roasted pork shoulder or a home-made beef and bacon pie.
Contains sulphites
