Details
The Lange Estate team have put together a classic expression of Shiraz from one of the hidden regions in Australia, Frankland River. The wine is bursting with pepper berries, plums and a nice eucalypt freshness, finishing off with rounded tannins.
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: With vineyards dating back to 1843 - Australia has the world’s oldest Shiraz vines still in production.

Pairing guide
If you’ve been on the lookout for the ideal red wine to serve at your next barbecue, then your search may have just ended in real style. This Shiraz from Lange Estate is going to match up beautifully with barbecued ribs - the stickier and more unctuous the better - as well as with a quality beef steak, homemade grilled lamb chops, and even with a pulled pork sandwich or hunk of brisket. You’ll get equally good results from minced beef favourites like chili con carne or cottage pie, and it’s going to taste brilliant with vegetarian dishes of smoked seitan, kidney beans, or black dal.

The region is relatively recent with plantings dating back to 1967 and by the 1980s wineries like Alkoomi and Frankland Estate were well established.
