If you’ve never tried a red bubbly, you won’t find a better introduction than this 28 medal winning Shiraz from the McLaren Vale – but don’t take our word for it: “Big, fat, sweet, juicy – very nice indeed,” said the judges at Winestate magazine.

Beyond the Label

Aroma
Enticing aromas of plums, blueberries and cherries
Originally from central Italy’s Abruzzi region, Domenico Scarpantoni emigrated to Australia in 1952 and, after experience at Thomas Hardy, set up the now hugely successful Scarpantoni Wines – with over 300 medals and more than a dozen trophies in national wine shows so far. Top Aussie wine critic James Halliday wrote, “The quality of its young wines is absolutely outstanding”. The cellar is very much a family business with every step of production, from viticulture to the packaged product, done entirely on the premises. Made from the Scarpantoni’s renowned ‘Block 3’ Shiraz and packed with richly juicy black fruit flavours, this is a great party red, perfect for any celebration. Try, too, with roast poultry or even chocolate puddings.
