The Mitchelton 'Victoria Series` Shiraz is a real tasty treat. Mouth-filling and round with flavours of blackberries, plum, and liquorice spice. This wine is bright and fruity, and carries firm yet approachable tannins, making each sip feel juicy and deliciously while still backed with power.

Origin: The first recognised wines were made in the Rhone 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: There are many faces to Shiraz, but typically when grown in a cooler area, it will display more lavender and peppery notes. Where as when from a warm climate, more juicy even jammy fruit.
