This issue’s State of Play saw the Tasting Panel and special guest, Scott McCarthy, taste and rate a selection of the country’s finest cool climate Shiraz. They’ve selected six special examples for you to enjoy for just $32 a bottle!
While Australia’s international reputation for Shiraz has been built on big, robust warm climate examples from regions such as the Barossa and Hunter Valley, producers in cooler areas are crafting more refined Shiraz that’s growing in appeal.
As you’ll experience in these Shiraz from regions such as the Yarra Valley, Adelaide Hills, Mount Barker, Canberra and Tasmania, cool climate producers are still able to attain full-bodied flavours, but their Shiraz has lower alcohol and tighter acidity than their warm climate peers. This means these wines can all be enjoyed now or left to develop in the cellar.
So do your palate a favour and order this State of Play selection today. It will sell out fast so call 1300 303 307 now or visit wineselectors.com.au to secure these cool climate Shiraz!
