As we slowly approach BBQ season we thought we would begin to showcase some of our brighter wines. Both of these peppery and fruity Aussie Shiraz's go great with food or just by themselves.

Mitolo Jester Shiraz, McLaren Vale 2013

Deep, dark red. Pure and unobstructed by new oak, the nose is lifted with dark fruit flavours of blackberry, mint chocolate and anise. Dustings of white pepper spice, vanilla, and black olive tapenade provide an intriguing savoury counterpoint to the more primary fruit characters. The palate is concentrated with a luscious rolling texture and packed with fresh blackberry, dark chocolate and liquorice flavours. The wine is juicy and plush with silky tannins that linger, providing a drying, savoury finish.

Tyrrell's Lost Block Heathcote Shiraz 2013

Dark, vibrant purple-red colour. Aromas of ripe cooked plums and elegant peppery spice. Fresh black cherries and dark chocolate on the palate: rounded tannin structure comes from time in older French oak.

Come and give them a go, they're as smooth as silk!

Cheers!
