The Great Western range of wines provides an ideal introduction to the unique wine style of Great Western. These accessibly priced wines show detailed aromatic qualities set within a medium-bodied framework. The ‘continental’ climate, relatively unique in Australia, defined by cold nights and warm afternoons, means the fruit grown here develops flavours slowly through the day, building intense and varietal aromas and characters.

Regional DNA abounds in this purple-stained, black-hearted young shiraz chock-full of spice and delicious berries. A shiraz for both now and later such is its immediate upfront, plummy appeal, while boasting a tight tannin structure that won't quit.
