Handpicked Selection Shiraz 75cl
Brand: Handpicked Wines | Category: Red Wine – Shiraz | ABV: 14% | Origin: Australia | Vol: 750ml

Tasting Profile
Nose: Imagine cracking open a spice drawer in a sunlit kitchen, black pepper, ripe plums, and a whisper of smoky oak rise immediately.
Palate: Full-bodied with layers of dark berries, black cherry, and chocolate, carried by supple tannins and a velvet-like texture. It’s rich, but never overwhelming.
Finish: Lingering and luxurious, a warm glide of spice and oak that fades slowly, like the last note of a perfect song.

Production Details
Grapes are hand harvested from select vineyards, then fermented in small batches to capture intensity and detail. Aged in a mix of French and American oak, the wine gains complexity without losing its vibrant fruit core.

Perfect For
Dinner with close friends, fireside evenings, or winding down after a long day with a steak and good music. This Shiraz is built for bold pairings and memorable moments.

Expert Notes

“I’m usually a Cab guy, but this won me over, great body and just enough bite.”
“Had it with lamb chops, no notes, just chef’s kiss.”

Interesting Fact
Shiraz and Syrah are the same grape, but Aussie Shiraz like this tends to be fuller, riper, and more fruit-forward, Handpicked’s version strikes a perfect balance.

Serving Suggestions
Let it breathe, 15 minutes in a decanter transforms this wine. Serve just below room temp (around 16°C). Pairs beautifully with grilled meats, aged cheese, or even dark chocolate.
