Shiraz

McLaren Vale, South Australia. This is a classic McLaren Vale shiraz. A savoury nose of burnished mocha, ground spice, raspberry and blackberry bramble. A plush palate offering up plum, dark cherry and soft oak. The Redstone is a fruit driven shiraz made to enjoy in its youth, though will cellar well. Tannins are soft and approachable with great fruit length...

Hawke's Bay, New Zealand.  Very dark colour with vibrant crimson hues. This wine aromatically abounds with trademark characters of blueberry, aniseed, lavender and black pepper.

Margaret River, W.A. The palate is soft and juicy with flavours of dark plum and cherry, finishing with fine tannins and subtle creamy oak...
