Details
This Murray Darling Shiraz is packed with red and black fruits, spice and cocoa powder — the devilishly delicious combo we love from a good Aussie Shiraz. The wine is full-bodied with firm ripe tannins, ripe black raspberry, baked black cherry, blueberry and a lift of lavender. A wave of black pepper and spice notes linger through the finish making it an easy wine to savour.
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: You guessed it, Shiraz is the most planted grape in Australia holding 28% of all plantings (according to a 2012 grape census).

Pairing guide
Trentham makes the kind of Shiraz we simply can’t get enough of: offering the perfect balance between a laid-back bottle to share with your friends, and the sort of wine you can really get your teeth into when it comes to fascinating notes and expression of terroir. Furthermore, it goes brilliantly with our favourite kinds of food; rich, hearty meat stews with homemade dumplings, grilled and barbecued meats (Shiraz can’t get too much char), smoky eggplant dips with freshly baked bread, and even dark chocolate! This wine is also going to go perfectly with strong, tangy cheeses - smother something with a decent mature Cheddar or cheese sauce, and you’re onto a winner.

Wine region
Murray Darling, Australia
The Murray Darling wine region is one of the three that is the backbone of the Australian wine industry, alongside the Riverland and Riverina. The Murray Darling is situated along the Victorian and NSW border with Mildura being the centre. Whether it is grapes or oranges and other fruit, this is the place to find them. It's a hot and dry area with long, hot summers and cool winters, making it the perfect spot for growing grapes. Aside from the commercial wineries that source a large amount of fruit from this region, there is also a growing scene of alternative varietals thanks to wineries like Chalmers.
