"Full-bodied" Classic Red Wine Varieties Shiraz
Shiraz boasts abundant and rich berry aromas, accompanied by a robust body.
As the berry aromas gradually fade, they give way to distinct pepper notes,
along with a subtle spiciness and hints of smoked meat.

The most renowned grape variety in Australia is Shiraz.
Shiraz accounts for half of the red grape harvest in Australia,
and wines produced from Shiraz grapes are also representative of Australian wines.

The hot climate of Australia contributes to the rich aroma and full-bodied, sweet taste of Shiraz wines.

The wild clove flower aroma from the Australian outback enhances the sweet blueberry flavor,
and the taste and aroma blossom on the palate like a flower, accompanied by oak notes.
The gentle tannins in the finish create a perfect flavor feast.
