Brass Monkey Shiraz 2020

South Eastern Australia

Rip-roaring Aussie Shiraz from a larger than life winemaker and a comparatively cold vineyard (hence its cheeky name). Packed with juicy black fruit and exceptionally well made, it’s this type of Shiraz that made us all fall in love with Aussie wine.

If you like your Shiraz to be big, bold and brimming with upfront blackberry spice, you’re going to love Brass Monkey. It’s from winemaker Toby Wanklyn, a talented character with a roguish sense of fun. Toby loves his Shiraz, and much of the fruit for this big, juicy red comes from his favourite vineyard, prized for producing really ripe yet balanced flavour. The reason behind its consistent quality is that the local climate’s relatively cold temperature gives grapes a longer time to ripen. This allows the character in the Shiraz more chance to develop whilst retaining freshness and aroma. The result is wine with huge amounts of fruit, that’s never overpowering. Great sipped solo, it’s also good with roast meats or a veggie moussaka.
