Our first monster red. This shiraz shows all of the power and weight that the Barossa Valley is famous for. Dense, sweet (fruit sweet) and rich with generous oak handling. This is a wine for the confirmed red drinker, those that enjoy largess in their wines. We are very pleased to have this wine on offer. Limited stocks only.
