OYSTER BAY PINOT GRIS 750ML

Think Clare Valley and the name Taylors will roll off the tongue. In fact think top Aussie red producers and the name Taylors will pop up. It’s why they’re a member of the Australia’s First Families of Wine, the 12 founding family owned wineries across the ditch, and why for as long as we can remember this has been one of the most reliable, bang for your buck labels.

We reckon Taylors must be a little bit mad putting quality rich, lucious, medium to full bodied Shiraz under such a moderately priced label. They win an insane number of Gold medals around the globe every vintage – this 2018 release is out of the traps and already a Gold at NZ’s largest wine comp, the NZ International Wine Show.

One of (if not THE) most awarded Aussie Shiraz on the circuit over the years. Seriously, this label has an addiction to the bling!

Pair this style red with big red meat dishes – steaks, sausages, spicy pizzas or go with the Taylor’s recommendation of garlicy Kangaroo meatballs – if you can get your hands on a pair!

The nose of this wine displays good depth and complexity with bright berry fruit, violet and savoury pepper aromas. The palate features plum fruit, spice and wild herb notes, complemented by silky smooth tannins. This is a supple wine which displays sheer drinkability. Ideal with most red meats, game and a variety of cheeses.

1859 Shiraz 2012 Created in a contemporary style this Barossa Shiraz has notes of dark berries. The palate is rich with an excellent balance of fruit flavours, subtle tannins and a soft, silky finish. This vibrant and textural example of Barossa Shiraz is sourced from the exceptional 2012 vintage.
