About this product
Fox in the Hen House: an easy-to-understand common expression, symbolizing a great disruptor. In this case, it’s the market for Australian reds, with its craft wine offerings and innovative, irreverent marketing. Our Barossa Valley Shiraz is rich, dense and intense. A subtle and sophisticated nose leads to a powerful palate. Textural and well-balanced, this wine features mildly smooth tannins, leading to a strong but harmonious finish.

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.

It is superbly fruited and fragrant on the nose showing blackberry, mixed berry compote, game, warm spice and toasted nut characters, leading to a sumptuous palate that is velvety and fleshy. The wine is opulent and immediately appealing with sweet berry flavours and spicy undertones. At its best: now to 2020.
