Shop for wines by Grape Variety: Shiraz/Syrah

  • Cañada Negra 2009 09/28/11 NZD $22.95 NZD $19.95
    Another stunning example of value, superb quality and organically grown wine also from Valencia, a blend of Tempranillo and Syrah, mostly Tempranillo. On appearance it is almost black with hints of purple, the palate is weighty and concentrated with excellent depth. Even though drinking very well now, this will also cellar for another 4-5 years. An incredible example of the achievements of relatively upcoming areas in such a short period of time, at $22.95 it is almost impossible to get any better.
  • Bruno Thierry Cotes du Rhone 2007 08/20/08 NZD $22.95 NZD $19.95
    Another of our latest arrivals from the outstanding producer of Bruno Thierry, a producer that has been making wine in the Rhone Valley since 1985. This is very much their straightforward Cotes du Rhone made from mainly Syrah and a little Grenache however when it comes to quality versus price, it is unbeatable, medium to full bodied with hints of black pepper, tapenade and dry herbs, its focused with vibrant acidity, very well balanced and structured. A wine that will sit very comfortably along other Syrah at $30 plus. Drink now or keep for another 2-3 years.
  • Coriole Shiraz 2009 08/19/08 NZD $37.95 NZD $34.95
  • Westend 3 Bridges Shiraz 2006 08/19/08 NZD $28.95 NZD $24.95 Out of Stock
    This wine has also received more medals than an army general, including a gold at the Perth Wine Show. A glorious vintage which has produced a big, fat and almost chewy Shiraz with intense black pepper and spice, yet with soft, rounded tannins and a long robust, chocolate finish. Keep this one for 5 years, also. Again, we think this is a steal for the price and strongly advise stocking up large.
  • Grant Burge Miamba Shiraz 2007 08/19/08 NZD $34.95 NZD $32.95
  • Kemp Road Cabernet Merlot Syrah 2002 08/18/08 NZD $49.95 NZD $44.95
  • Westend Outback Shiraz 2005 08/08/08 NZD $14.95 NZD $10.95 Out of Stock
    This outstanding Shiraz has won Gold at the 2005 Perth Royal Wine Show and by popular demand we thought we would bring it to you again this week. Most of you will know this wine, but for those of you that don't, it is from Griffith N.S.W. from the Westend producer that we have been importing for years. The wine has a dark cherry colour with a bouquet of pepper, black olive and candid fruit. On the palate it displays a Rhone style structure of crushed black peppercorns, dark chocolate with hints of oak. Excellent with roasts or BBQ dishes. Drink now or cellar for the next 2-3 years.
  • Ata Rangi Celebre 2007 08/08/08 NZD $43.95 NZD $39.95
    Célèbre has always played second fiddle to the Pinot Noir from this vineyard but frankly its unusual blend of grape varieties, make it one of the most interesting and provocative wines in the country. Made from Merlot, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon which is the minority blend, the wine offers a good spicy backbone with hints of pepper, black olive and savoury notes. The wine even after spending 18 months in oak, is not overly oaked, sweet or jammy but clean and quite focused with good spine and texture. Drink now or cellar for the next couple of years.
  • Alain Graillot Crozes Hermitage Rouge 2004 08/08/08 NZD $39.95 NZD $36.95 Out of Stock
    For anyone out there that loves excellent Syrah, look no further! This is in a league of its own. Out of all the producers that we exclusively import, Alain Graillot has to be one of the greatest innovators not just in the Cotes du Rhone but also in all of France, he is almost entirely responsible for revolutionising Crozes Hermitage as an appellation. The wine is made from 100% Syrah from very low yielding vines averaging 30 years old. The viticulture is quite rustic and artisan therefore allowing the wine to express its true terroir characteristics. On appearance it has a very deep almost black with hints of ruby colour with an array of dry herbs, black olive and roasted red pepper. On the palate it is incredibly big and juicy almost chunky with notes of tarragon and tapenade. The finish is persistent and long emphasizing cracked black pepper corns with hints of leather yet remaining clean with great purity. Drinking at its best between 2007-2011.
  • Te Mata Bullnose Syrah 2010 08/08/08 NZD $59.95 NZD $42.95
    Bullnose ’10 has an impressive deep magenta colour, with aromas and flavours of raspberry and cherry syrup, baking spices and lavender. The rich palate displays velvety tannins underpinning plum and cream notes, leading to a long, elegant finish. It will continue to evolve in bottle for eight years from harvest.
  • Bruno Thierry Chateauneuf-du-Pape 2003 08/08/08 NZD $59.95 NZD $52.95 Out of Stock
    We have been importing this producer for a number of years now who is both a negociants and grower producing a wide range of top Cotes du Rhone wines. Chateauneuf-du-Pape is probably one of the best known appellations from this area and also one of the most prestigious. The 2003 vintage is a classic for this appellation and is showing very well now with a brick red purple colour on appearance, and a perfume of black olive, dry herb and black pepper. On the palate it's generous, tightly structured, clean and pure with hints of tapenade, crushed black pepper corns and roasted capsicum. Drink now or cellar for another 3-5 years.
  • Alan McCorkindale Syrah 2006 08/08/08 NZD $39.95 NZD $34.95
    A great new addition to Alan's portfolio and a great one it is! As you all mostly know that Alan really is one of the leading winemakers in the country mainly known for his whites but he was lucky enough to source this Syrah from Hawkes Bay and having tried it at various times frankly it’s up there with most New Zealand Syrah which sell for $70-$80. Beautiful purple colour boasting black pepper, dusted white pepper, black olive and a barrage of dark berry fruit. Drinking quite well now but also over the next 3-4 years.
