Angove Shiraz Carignan 2014

South Australia

From the fiercely independent Angove family – former Winery of the Year – comes this rich, velvety red. It’s a luscious and unusual (for Oz at least) combination of liquorice and blackberry scented Shiraz with big spice Carignan. Hearty and warming.

This rich red shows off the Angove family at their innovative best. Its pairing of grapes works splendidly in the warmer Rhône valley and looks likely to be a future star blend Down Under, judging by the seductive power of this wine. The Angoves have always been resourceful – Dr William Angove arrived in Australia from Cornwall in 1886 and as a hobby planted vines in Tea Tree Gully near Adelaide, made wine and mastered distillation. (To this day Angove makes Australia’s best known brandy.) The wine business really took off after William’s son, ‘Skipper’, studied oenology at Adelaide’s famous Roseworthy College, and it’s now run by the fourth generation. Enjoy this wine with steak and chunky chips, pan roast pork belly or warming lasagne.

"Nearly as good as Black Stump. Goes really well with roast lamb or beef. Another good find" Online Review for 2012
