Many countries have a signature grape varietal that separates them from the rest, and in Australia, that varietal is Syrah, also known as Shiraz.  It’s the countries best known and most widely planted grape, with vineyards dating back to the Mid 1800’s.  Australian Shiraz is revered for its intensity that’s often expressed through powerful, heady aromas, saturating flavors and full-bodied style.  A perfect example is Shottesbrooke’s 97 Point 2013 Eliza Reserve Shiraz which is chillingly intense and brimming with vivid red berries, roasted meats, black chocolate and spices.  Eliza was created from an individual patch of vineyard on the winery’s McLaren Flat property that naturally produces exceptionally low yields of high quality fruit.  At $60/btl this wine absolutely  has it all… We bought it all after tasting this wine and at $39.99 we know you’re going to love it.

 

Named after the founders daughter, Eliza is the top Reserve Shiraz produced by the winery, and is only made in exceptional vintages.  Due to low yields and high-demand for Eliza, only a limited number of cases make their way to the US.  The wine is kept for 19 months in oak before bottling and the 2013 shines with vivid details.  I strongly recommend adding some to your cellar.
