Description

The 30 Mile Shiraz is a quintessential expression of Australian winemaking, crafted by the renowned John Quarisa of Quarisa Wines. This wine is celebrated for its 'passion is everything' philosophy, resulting in a rich, bold, and incredibly approachable red that has garnered numerous awards, including Gold and Silver medals at the China Wine & Spirits Awards. Upon pouring, you are greeted with a deep, intense red color with vibrant purple hues, hinting at the fruit-forward experience to follow. The nose is inviting and complex, dominated by lush aromas of ripe blackberry, dark plum, and black currant, layered with elegant nuances of vanilla, baking spices, and a touch of well-integrated oak. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and generous, perfectly balancing its ripe, jammy dark fruit flavors with a soft, velvety tannin structure. It possesses a delightful spice-laden character—featuring hints of cracked black pepper and licorice—that adds depth without being overwhelming. The finish is remarkably smooth and lingering, leaving a warm, pleasant impression that encourages another sip. The 30 Mile Shiraz is designed to be an accessible, high-quality wine, making it a perfect companion for relaxed weekday dinners or festive gatherings. It is a fantastic value proposition that doesn't compromise on flavor or complexity. To truly enjoy this wine, we recommend serving it at a slightly cooler room temperature, around 17°C, which helps to soften the alcohol and highlight its vibrant fruit profile. A brief aeration of about 20 minutes before serving will allow the wine to breathe and fully express its harmonious blend of dark berries and spice. When it comes to food pairing, this Shiraz is a versatile partner. Its bold nature makes it an excellent match for hearty, savory dishes. Think of a succulent, peppered grilled steak, BBQ ribs, or slow-cooked lamb shanks. It also pairs wonderfully with comfort foods like beef and mushroom pie, hearty beef burgers, or even a simple platter of aged cheddar. Whether you are hosting a barbecue or enjoying a quiet dinner at home, the 30 Mile Shiraz offers a reliable, delicious experience that captures the heart of South Eastern Australian viticulture.
