Australia’s Shiraz has earned its place among the world’s great reds — bold, generous, and full of life. This WineXpert Reserve Shiraz captures that unmistakable character: deep colour, rich flavour, and a warmth that fills the glass. It’s everything people love about Australian wine — approachable yet full of personality.
The first impression is powerful and inviting. Aromas of blackberry, plum, and dark cherry rise from the glass, followed by hints of pepper, cocoa, and vanilla oak. On the palate, it’s full-bodied and smooth, with ripe fruit leading into a touch of spice and a long, satisfying finish. The tannins are firm enough to give structure but not so heavy that they dominate — this is a wine built for both easy enjoyment and slow sipping.
Australian Shiraz is known for its sun-ripened intensity, and that comes through beautifully here. The warmth of the growing regions brings out lush fruit and rounded texture, while careful fermentation preserves a clean finish and gentle balance. Compared to European Syrah, this style is riper, softer, and more fruit-forward, with less earthiness and more of that bold, velvety feel that makes it so appealing.
It’s a perfect match for grilled meats, barbecue, hearty stews, and strong cheeses, or simply on its own at the end of the day. The rich, spicy edge makes it a natural pairing for smoky flavours and savoury dishes, while its plush fruit keeps it friendly and easy to drink.
As part of the WineXpert Reserve series, this kit produces a full-bodied red wine ready in about six weeks, yielding roughly 30 bottles of deep, flavourful Shiraz that embodies the heart of Australian winemaking — generous, bold, and beautifully smooth.
