Description
In a nutshell:
A fragrant and juicy, cool climate Australian Shiraz from Orange in New South Wales
The lowdown:
Philip Shaw's vineyards around Orange, New South Wales at an altitude of 900m are among the highest in Australia. The combination of the climate and terroir of this inland region some 200 miles west of Sydney leads to wines that are not always what you'd expect from this part of the world. Their 'Idiot' Shiraz is one such and its cooler climate credentials give it similarities to the reds of the northern Rhône. It's a very well balanced wine with a subtly spicy aroma and some liquorice notes. Medium bodied it has a pleasing complexity, good subtle fruit and some gentle rustic, gameyness and a touch of spice. The fine, savoury tannins keep it all in good balance at the elegant finish.
When to drink:
Lighter than many an Aussie Shiraz this is a good 'drink alone' red. With food it pairs well with charcuterie and cheeses.
Suitable for Vegetarians
