The naming of this rare old vine Barossa Shiraz comes from the entwined story of England's 'Mad King' George III, the operatic collaboration of composer Sir Peter Maxwell Davies and poet Randolph Stow, and the suite of eight paintings of artist Rod Schubert , who was inspired by the 1993 Barossa Music Festival performance of "Eight Songs for a Mad King". These paintings are the labels for the wine.

Knappstein Shiraz Clare Valley South Australia
Description: Ripe berry fruit with a spicy peppery note. A silky texture. Fine natural tannins. Very enjoyable drinking now, or cellar for up to ten years.Clare Valley Shiraz is a regional speciality. Early in the 1980's our shiraz vines were grafted over to other more commercially viable varieties. The wheel has turned full circle and we have 'ungrafted' the chardonnay. The vines have reverted to original root stock, and we're in the exciting position of soon to have thirty-year old shiraz vines which in future vintages will be used for our Knappstein Shiraz.

Dean Hewitson NED & HENRY Shiraz Barossa Valley
Description: The colour of Ned & Henry's Shiraz is deep red with a purple hue. The aroma is distinctively Barossa Valley Shiraz: black and red, ripe fruits with a solid, concentrated core. Matured in only French oak, the fruit is interwoven with pepper, nutmeg and clove. The seamless class of perfectly ripe Shiraz and French oak is a stand-out here. The palate structure of Ned & Henry's delivers in every aspect of the brief. The fruit flavours of Shiraz are full and concentrated yet soft and supple. The tannins are gentle yet persistent and completely mould into the wine. Ned & Henry's Shiraz is most definitely full-bodied: chocolate, blackberry and dark-earth characters. Yet the wine has great balance and poise and carries that signature called 'drinkability'. (12 x 75 cl) Price: £159.47

Penfolds ST HENRI Shiraz South Australia
Description: Penfolds St Henri Shiraz is the enigma in the Penfolds range of reds: a richly flavoured, fruit-driven wine that is not aged in new American oak.

Developed by former Penfolds winemaker John Davoren in 1956, the aim was to create a refined style of Shiraz with the capacity to age. The result is an elegant, supple Shiraz (6 x 75 cl) Price: £152.98
