2026 Antonio Shiraz

Best served lightly chilled

Description

Description

A light-bodied Shiraz made for warm afternoons. Bright dark fruit — blackcurrant, blueberry, dried cherry — with lively acidity and a clean, earthy finish.

Earthy notes of clay and dusty earth give the wine savoury depth, while subtle toast and cigar box bring warmth and oak complexity.

Best served lightly chilled — thirty minutes in the fridge. A match for charcuterie, roast vegetables, grilled fish, or a warm afternoon on its own.

Tasting Notes

Palate: The palate is expressive and fruit-led, with flavours of prune, fig, pomegranate and white nectarine carried through a bright, supple frame. Gentle vanilla and honeyed notes add softness and warmth, while the touch of undergrowth introduces savoury balance.
Overall Style: Fragrant, lifted, fruit-led, softly savoury, expressive.
Finish: The finish is fresh, lightly persistent and softly savoury, with lingering floral and fruit tones.
Quality Summary: A lifted and expressive red blend showing floral fragrance, layered fruit, subtle savoury complexity and a bright, polished finish.
