Details
From a vineyard planted back in the 1940s, this offers deep, brooding aromas of blackberry, plum, and cracked black pepper. These open into a rich, structured palate. Notes of leather, spice, and dark chocolate interplay with firm but ripe tannins. Balanced acidity and a long, smoky finish make this Shiraz powerful yet refined.

Worlds Apart Wines are artisan wines made from the best vineyards in South Australia. After more than a decade working in fine wine retail and the world’s best restaurants, Louis Schofield created Worlds Apart Wines in 2017 with a simple goal: to make wine thoughtfully, that is also delicious. Sourcing sustainably grown grapes from significant sites in Eden Valley, McLaren Vale and their own backyard in the Adelaide Hills, Schofield and his wife Hannah Jeffrey are delivering on a promise to make beautiful wine that is eminently drinkable and downright delicious. Louis draws on his training under the late, great winemaker Taras Ochota, and makes wines inspired by cult Australian and European producers, famed Burgundies, and winemaker peers and friends in the Adelaide Hills and surrounds. He and Hannah have recently built their own winery in the Hills, to ensure the future of Worlds Apart.

Pairing guide
Bold, savoury and structured, this Syrah is made for robust, flavour-driven meals. It’s a natural with grilled steak, lamb cutlets, or a juicy beef burger loaded with bacon and cheese. Fire up the smoker for brisket or ribs, or pair it with a slow-cooked beef pie or hearty shepherd’s pie. Pepper-crusted steak, chargrilled sausages, or even a gourmet meatball sub work beautifully with its spice and depth. For something different, try it with smoky barbecue chicken wings or a mushroom and black pepper pizza. Aged cheddar, blue cheese, or a rich baked camembert also hold their own.
