Standout Shiraz

There is no doubt that some of the finest expressions of Australian shiraz come from the Barossa and McLaren Vale. Here, the Gourmet Traveller WINE panel list devilishly good examples, across several vintages and rank their top wines, which clearly show the generous flavours for which both regions are renowned. You’ll find those that are immediately accessible, others built for long-term cellaring and some that are both. You Gourmet Traveller WINE Concierge will be able to advise you further.
