Borsao Zarihs Syrah (Shiraz) is produced by one of our favourite Spanish vineyards, Bodegas Borsao. It's a powerful high altitude Syrah made by Aussie winemaker Chris Ringland so it married new world knowledge with old world quality. Ripe aromas of black fruits, blackcurrant pastilles and a hint of coffee and vanilla greet you at the glass. The palate has wild blackberries, toasty oak and black pepper notes - all balanced by fresh acidity and a touch of dark chocolate. Try this with roasted and grilled lamb or beef, but it can also work well with pork belly and duck.

Reviews:
Borsao Zarihs (Old Vine Shiraz) 2017: “An elegant, medium- to full-bodied red, with an underpinning of smoky mineral and flavors of baked blackberry, herbed olive and toast. Well-spiced, with creamy tannins and a lasting, fresh finish. Drink now through 2029.” 91 pts. Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator (31st July ’22)
