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.

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
