Shiraz also known as syrah and hermitage. The flavours contained in the dark skin rise in tandem with sugars in the pulp and often shiraz can be picked with excellent sugar - acid balances and intense colour and flavour.The conditons in Australia are capable of producing high quality shiraz.Shiraz the full dark, dark, rich and fruity wine has a natural low tannin softness and combines perfectly with american Oak during maturation to provide one of Australia's richest and most enjoyable wine styles.That is why in the early days of Australian wine making, shiraz was often called 'burgundy' as it was soft, round and mellow, reminiscent to the new settlers of the supple wines of Bourgogne (Burgundy) France.
Green Point Victoria Shiraz 2004 Yarra Valley Region Victoria 750ml x 12 : Green Point Shiraz. A little smoother than you might expect from a full bodied red,though it's robust enough to keep fans happy. Dark berry fruit and earthy, herbaceous aromas dominate the nose. The palate boasts plenty of berry fruit and pepper to spice things up without diminishing its silky finish.
