Shiraz

Shiraz in South Australia is known for producing bold, full-bodied wines with dark fruit flavors, spice, and smooth tannins. The grape thrives in regions like the Barossa Valley and McLaren Vale, benefiting from warm days and cool nights. Vines are often gnarled and old, producing concentrated fruit with rich, complex flavors. The soil varies from sandy loam to red clay, influencing the depth and intensity of the wine.
