Rocksand Shiraz 2020
Vinho Regional Península de Setúbal
Gorgeously rich and punchy Shiraz, not from Oz, but from a top winemaker in Portugal. Winning two Golds and 93-Points the 2020 vintage is a testament to Jaime Quendera’s skill. Sandy soils and abundant sunshine make for a big, spicy, powerful red.

The Wine
The Independent named Rocksand Shiraz among its ‘12 Best Portuguese Wines’, giving it the title of ‘best for a meat feast’! The secret to its luscious weight and fruit-packed splendour is the sandy soils, which hold little rain for the vines, plus the unrelenting hot sun of the Setubal Peninsula. The result is a very modest yield of small berries crammed with juicy flavour and spice. No wonder, then, award-winning winemaker Jaime Quendera is now forging a worldwide reputation for Setúbal’s rich, bold reds, all at affordable prices, too. A few months' ageing in French oak barrels has lent a gorgeous, spicy, vanilla lift to its wealth of ripe black fruits. A fine treat to serve with spicy chorizo sausages, a hearty stew or the Sunday roast.
"Another excellent Portuguese wine. Full bodied and packed with flavour, doesn't disappoint"
