A blend of Barossa Valley and Eden Valley fruit (hence the name Valley & Valley), this Shiraz from Welland Wines is a rock solid example of reliability.
It sees American oak for up to twelve months and its impact is clear with cedar nuances rippling through. Red berries, blue fruits and plums are the main drivers. Tense early on, it softens with time - give it a decant if drinking now. Dark chocolate torte and loaded with Christmas cake spices, cinnamon, clove and a flicker of star anise, this is a tidy Shiraz with good flow. Take this to your next barbecue and you'll be sitting pretty. Tick.
Drink to eight years.
