This is a very special one-off Shiraz for Lucy and Alysha, made using grapes from the famous Warner Vineyard in Beechworth. Spicy, dark-fruited and ultra-sophisticated, this peppery Shiraz has cascading depths of blue and purple fruit that always head in a savoury direction.

Allevare, meaning to grow and nurture in Sicilian, are Lucy and Alysha, based in West Gippsland. Their aim is to bring you delicious, thoughtful, minimal-intervention wines that reflect their industry and culture from exciting wine regions. Lucy has many wine hats; working in the wine industry for the last twelve years, she has completed vintages in Chile, France and around Australia, has worked in wine retail and importing, and has mucked in with much vineyard and winery work. She finished her Masters of Oenology and Viticulture in 2018 at Adelaide University and has now come full circle with Allevare, as winemaker and viticulturist. Alysha was born in Melbourne, but her family is from Syracuse and the Aeolian Islands in Sicily. After many trips there, she is constantly inspired by the people, the way of life and importantly, the food and wine. After many years of working in London, Alysha decided to base herself in West Gippsland with Lucy, where she has found her love and inspiration for viticulture and winemaking.
