Rockhopper Shiraz Australian Red Wine - South Eastern Australia - 75cl, 13% ABV - Rich Plum & Dark Chocolate Notes with Peppery Finish - Classic Fruit-Forward Aussie Red (Case of 6)

The Story: Character in Every Drop Named after the spirited Eastern Rockhopper penguins known for leaping across the rocky terrain of Australia’s Antarctic territories, Rockhopper Shiraz embodies that same sense of energy and character. This wine isn't just about heritage; it's about the vibrant, "punk" personality of Australia's most famous grape variety. Crafted to be unpretentious and deeply flavourful, it brings a taste of the Southern Hemisphere sun to your glass. The Detail: A Balanced Classic While many Australian reds can be overpowering, Rockhopper is meticulously blended from South Eastern Australian fruit to achieve a perfect equilibrium. The 13% ABV allows the natural fruit sweetness of the plum and bramble to shine without being masked by high alcohol heat. Traditional fermentation techniques and subtle oak influence introduce sophisticated secondary notes of vanilla and cocoa, providing a textured mouthfeel that makes every sip as "moreish" as the last. Tasting Notes at a Glance Appearance: Deep ruby with purple hues. Nose: Punchy blackberry and ripe plum with a hint of sweet spice. Palate: Medium-bodied and succulent; dark berry fruits balanced by soft tannins and a touch of dark chocolate. Finish: Clean and spicy with a refreshing peppery lift. Directions Best served at a cool room temperature (16–18°C). The vibrant fruit profile makes it an exceptional partner for grilled red meats, peppery steaks, or a rich tomato-based pasta. Excellent when enjoyed on its own Manufacturer Contact Information Rockhopper
