Picardy Shiraz ia an elegant, complex, rich, cool climate style wine, this variety is exceeding expectations and will continue to improve through cellaring.

This wine is made using many techniques which Picardy use in their Pinot Noir production but using Shiraz grapes, giving a wine in the style of the traditional old world Shiraz. Picardy Shiraz typically contains about 4% Malbec and  2% Viognier (co-fermented) to give sweetness of fruit and greater complexity.

It's notable features include: excellent colour, pronounced fruit flavour, low pH without high acidity and fine-grained tannins. This is a complex wine.
