This is a terrific, big, spicy red using parcels of Shiraz from a selection of top performing wine regions across the underbelly of Oz. Crafted by maestro Bob Berton in this impressive vintage, it's densely fruity with lush liquorice and smoky spice.

Do you enjoy an arresting glass of luscious blackberry fruit and smoky spice with gentle grip? Then we’d highly recommend Bob Berton’s Kelly Country. It’s named after local outlaw Ned Kelly who in 1880 made his famous last stand in Glenrowan, Victoria, the original home of this perennial favourite. 2016 was a uniformly outstanding vintage in Oz and, this year, Bob selected Shiraz from vineyards close to home, as well as further afield in northern Victoria. He fermented each parcel separately before blending and maturing the wine in oak casks (the majority of which were American) to lend the upfront, weighty fruit a boost of sweetly scented vanilla oak. Enjoy this satisfying red with roast lamb, peppered steak, venison or a hearty casserole.
