First released in 1996, our Blue Chip Shiraz is made with 100% Estate Grown Clare Valley fruit.
Dark brick red in colour with purple hues. With ripe blueberry and blood plum fruits, this wine has spent some time in quality Americal oak and the resultant wine is spicy, cream, polished and glossy. The wine is perfectly balanced and as you work a bit of air into it, liquorice and leather notes come to the fore. The length of flavour is admirable. A very approachable wine early in its existence, that will only improve with age.
Alcohol Level : 15%
