Session 19 - Grampians Shiraz


This month we will taste a range of Shiraz wines from the best producers in the Grampians. From the traditional wines of Best's and Seppelt to the modern classics of Langi and Clayfield, we will see a diversity of expressions of this heritage style. We will also taste exciting, modern reinterpretations of Grampians Shiraz by producers The Story Wines and Jamsheed that are pushing the boundaries of the region's accepted style. It is no exaggeration to suggest that this tasting contains some of the region’s, and therefore Australia's, best wines.
Joining us to facilitate the tasting we have Julian Coldrey of www.fullpour.com and Jeremy Pringle of www.winewilleatitself.
