If you’re looking for a bronzed Aussie, look no further. Bronze medals at the 2016 Royal Brisbane and Royal Hobart wine shows, bronze at the Great Australian Shiraz Challenge and bronze at the McLaren Vale wine show.

Sth. Coast by Shingleback, Shiraz, McLaren Vale, 2015

Throw in (legally without naming) 4% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Grenache for bit of tannin and juiciness. Raspberry, chocolate, raspberry liqueur, red velvet and sweet Chinese plum. Bright and shiny palate, seems to be inanely grinning before a tiny amount of tannin grips and sets a good spine. Lingering white black pepper and licorice. Juicy and easy drinking without thinking. Value.

RRP: $15

Alc: 13.9%
