Shiraz Plays Shiraz Barossa Valley Shiraz 2009
- This wine takes its name from Frank Zappa's son's homage to his Dad's music.
- Barossa Shiraz is rock 'n' roll and this wine is turned up to eleven and not ashamed of it.
- Pure, visceral and fun with a steak!
This wine is a bit special as it relies only on a couple of great sites from where the grapes were selected and a minimal-intervention philosophy in the winery to deliver its amazing quality. As a result it has a concentration, ripeness and full-on flavour that underlines the reputation of the region, as well as giving you an intense, compelling glass of wine sporting a wonderful array of flavours - sweet berry fruit, blackberry and cassis, herbs and smoked meat.
Summary
Winemaker: Steve Grimley
Winery: Barossa Valley
Country: Australia
Steve Grimley has vast winemaking experience that spans 3 continents and an unbridled energy that has seen his small, family-owned winery quickly establish an enviable reputation. He's passionate about Single Vineyards and the personalities involved within them and constantly seeking unique parcels of fruit to further expand our bulging portfolio of wines. His immense knowledge of the great wines of the world ensures the continued evolution of our range and is the fuel from which our fire is lit.
"To me, a truly great wine is more about the sizzle than the sausage. I grew up in the Barossa, so wine's pretty much part of your culture from day one. Given our type of business, the styles of wine we make and my individual personality, all these combine to drive us down the 'winemaking way of one'. It's easy to manipulate, but when you leave things alone they just represent what they are - the variety, origin and working patterns, stored in a bottle." - Steve Grimley

The Black Pig Single Vineyard Clare Valley Shiraz 2010
Type: Syrah / Shiraz
This highly rated gem is something of an obsession here in the office. Everything you'd expect from a brooding, devilish red from the Barossa Valley. Don't take our word for it, just look at the plethora of 5* ratings from yourselves!

Xanadu Margaret River Shiraz 2005
Type: Syrah / Shiraz
Don't think Abba when you see Xanadu. Think special Shiraz from Western Australia scored in a deal so cheekily cheap, we still get the guilty vibes. On the bright side, we have this one-off red that was too good to refuse.

Brindle Ridge Limestone Coast Shiraz 2008
Type: Syrah / Shiraz
Brindle Ridge was put together by winemaker and very cool dude Peter Leske. Using all his experience he's crafted a truly great expression of Limestone Coast Shiraz. The whole experience here is totally and utterly laid back, just like the winemaker.
