Famously, Shiraz from the Hilltops has a plum and almond edge to it that is in full force here. It's a lush, medium to full-bodied, purple-fruited wonder with acres of plummy, purple and blue fruit goodness and a warm and expansive finish.

Origin: The first recognised wines were made in the Rhône Valley and south-eastern France. Mainly Grown In: One of the world’s leading grapes, it is found in France, Australia, the USA, Argentina and South Africa. Key Facts: Shiraz is a world-beater. Starting small in the southern reaches of France, it has spread to all corners of the world, and is known for producing some of the world’s great red wines, capable of perfume, power and persistence. Local versions are luscious and fruity, loaded with plum, raisin and plenty of oaky richness. European expressions however can be more savoury and tend towards flavours of olive, black cherry and pepper. Both are equally delicious, and are simply a matter of taste! Fun Fact: World-famous English rock band 'Motörhead" loved Shiraz so much they decided to make their own... in Australia, funnily enough.
