Samurai Shiraz

2021

Quirky, fun, minimal-intervention Aussie Shiraz.

Super juicy and fruity Aussie Shiraz with oodles of blackberry, black cherry and plum fruit on a ripe and round medium-bodied palate with a little smokey, earthiness. This is less dense and spicy than your regular Australian Shiraz with soft tannins that make it ever so drinkable. This really is all about the pure fruit. A great introduction to low-intervention wines.

With access to some of the best and premium vineyards across Australia, Free Run Juice is a wine company that makes the best use of the local winegrowing talent of the country. They can do this as a part of Australia’s oldest family-based winery, Yalumba Wine Company.

This is made from 100% Shiraz grown in the South Australian region. Thanks to the innovative networking of the Free Run Juice Company, it has access to the Shiraz varietals grown in the most natural way in the warm region of Angaston. The company ensures that the wines produced in this small vineyard are distributed all over Australia.

Syrah/Shiraz

A rich, powerful, and sometimes meaty red wine that originated in the Rhône Valley of France. Syrah is the most planted grape of Australia, where they call it Shiraz, and the Barossa Valley is home to some of the oldest Syrah vines.

Syrah is responsible for some of the darkest full-bodied red wines in the world, and it has dark fruit flavours that go from sweet blueberry to savoury black olive. Grown across the globe, it can be used as a single variety or as part of a blend.

Old World Syrahs from Italy and France tend to have more acidity and earthy-herbaceous aromas. New World-styled Syrah wines from Australia, The U.S. and South America usually have more fruit-driven characteristics with lots of spice.

Some of the most famous (and most expensive) Syrah is from the 340+ acre Northern Rhône appellation called Hermitage. Elsewhere in the Rhône, you'll mostly find it blended with Grenache and Mourvèdre (GSM Blend).
