About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of ShirazBarossa Valley, AustraliaThe Octavius Shiraz has quick garned a repuation as one of Australia's trademark Shiraz, quite amazingly since the label is only 20 years old, unlike the old gnarly Barossa vines which are a century older! Intense depth with dark fruits dominate, but balanced with floral violet lift. A wonderful medium to long term cellar option.

Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

Plenty of oak comes through on the bouquet, but the power of the wine is unmistakable; layered with flavour and aroma, this is built on sheer brute force
