The Second Fleet Shiraz 2017

In June 1790 after a hard six month voyage, the Second Fleet arrived at Sydney Cover where a tiny penal colony had been established by the first fleet two years below. Over a thousand convicts started the journey and while over 200 perished during the voyage, the survivors worked hard to carve our a new life in the fledging colon which would one day become Australia. 

This opulent shiraz is deep brick red with purple hues in colour. It displays layers of dark berry fruits and pepper spice with soft tannins, giving way to a smooth lingering finish. This wine pairs perfectly with an eye-fillet of beef or braised lamb shanks.
