Rich, fruity, spicy, not too much tannin. We could drink this forever.

"My greatest pleasure has been to start Arabella, my winery, from scratch in 2006. With the help of my children, Nicky & Jamie, it's turned in to a real family business where everyone is completely dedicated. My family owned a wine farm when I was growing up, and at the age of 17 my mother put me to work in the cellar. I absolutely loved. So winemaking was something I knew I wanted to do from a young age. I love the creativity involved with being a winemaker. Every step taken, from vineyard to bottling, will effect the outcome of the wine. It's vital to have a very clear idea of what the outcome should be and the steps needed in the process to achieve the desired result."

Had two bottles in last order - both undrinkable - very sweet to taste and smell. Guests also tried it and down the drain it went.

This is really good Shiraz.
Compared to a similar priced Cotes de Rhone, this is much better, and such better value.
All you would expect from a good Shiraz, but also velvety smooth.
Now a favourite, I will re-order this one next month for sure.

disappointing - none of that earthy warmth you normally get from a shiraz
