Irvine The Estate Shiraz Tasting notes
Irvine the Estate Shiraz, winner of the ‘Best 2016 Shiraz Trophy’ at the 2017 Barossa Wine Show. Up against some of the most famous Shiraz producers in Australia this cooler climate Shiraz from Estate vineyards in the Eden Valley took the top honour. A vibrant crimson wine with aromas of ripe red cherry, blackberry and some hints of coffee. Fresh red fruit carries onto the palate, nicely balanced with fine tannins and a smooth finish.

Producer/Region
Spanning over 400 acres, Irvine Wines’ foundations were laid with the first shiraz plantings by the Miles Family in 1867. Their family owned vineyards are carefully nurtured by fourth generation vigneron Peter Miles and his highly experienced team. Their dedication to crafting exceptional wines is mirrored by their deep heritage in the Barossa region. The region is home to some of the world’s oldest Shiraz and Riesling vineyards and has long been associated with producing world-class expressions of these varieties. Irvine carefully select only the best fruit from each vineyard for their premium Barossa and Eden Valley varieties. An inherent understanding and respect for provenance together with an ongoing commitment to excellence will ensure the Irvine legacy endures.
