Buronga Hill Estate: Shiraz

This is the first Australian wine I am featuring on the blog so I wanted to share some fun wine facts about Australia, before getting to this week’s feature.

  1. Australia produces more than 1 billion liters of wine each year.
  2. Although a wine leader, Australia cannot grow certain sorts of grapes, such as: Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Semillon. These are imported.
  3. The first wine production in Australia was in 1788.

Winemakers Notes:

This classic Australian Shiraz is bursting with spicy plum, cherry ad blackberry jam fruit flavours and complementedby fine grained tannins with sublt hinys of cedar and leather from oak aging.

Food Paring:

Grilled Tuna, Grilled swordfish, Lamb Loin, Venison, Caribou, Hamburgers, Nachos

Cheers and Enjoy Responsibly
