QLD Wine Essentials 4.0

Shiraz
THE NORTHERN RHÔNE VALLEY REMAINS THE SPIRITUAL HOME OF THE VARIETY, BUT IT IS HERE
IN AUSTRALIA, THAT SHIRAZ IS THE NUMBER ONE RED VARIETAL, THE NUMBER ONE EXPORTED
VARIETAL, AND THE NUMBER ONE GROWN VARIETAL. IN RECENT YEARS, THERE HAS BEEN A SHIFT
TOWARDS COOLER CLIMATE EXPRESSIONS, PAIRED WITH MORE BALANCE IN OAK USE, LOWER
ALCOHOL LEVELS AND HIGHER ACIDITY. THE WINES ARE EXPRESSIVE, DEEP AND COMPLEX.
