This Shiraz Blend is an earthy and savoury take on the style - with notes of blackberries, blueberries and black plums and a lovely peppery kick. It's smoky too, with tobacco leaf and a floral lick of violet keeping things super classy and elegant.

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 (or Syrah) 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. Wines made and labelled as 'Shiraz' are luscious and fruity, loaded with plum, raisin and plenty of oaky richness. European or cooler climate expressions are often labelled as and referred to as 'Syrah', these 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’s a small town in Iran called Shiraz, where some people believe that the grape may have originally been grown as an eating grape!
