A vibrant and approachable Australian Shiraz that showcases the variety’s generous fruit and effortless drinkability. Sourced from selected vineyards across South East Australia, The Balloonist balances ripe dark berry flavours with subtle spice and a silky texture, offering exceptional value and everyday appeal.
Tasting Notes:
Deep ruby in colour with inviting aromas of blackberry, plum and ripe black cherry, complemented by hints of cracked black pepper and savoury spice. The palate is smooth and fruit-driven, with juicy dark berry flavours, supple tannins and a touch of spice adding complexity. Fresh acidity and a lower alcohol level bring lift and balance, leading to a long, vibrant finish.
Winemaking:
Produced from 100% Shiraz grown in the warm, sun-drenched vineyards of South East Australia, where the climate encourages full flavour development while preserving freshness. Careful vinification focuses on expressing the grape’s naturally rich fruit character, creating a wine that is generous, balanced and immediately enjoyable.
Food Pairing:
An excellent all-rounder, pairing beautifully with grilled steaks, lamb chops, gourmet burgers and barbecue favourites. It is equally at home alongside hearty pasta dishes, mature cheddar or slow-cooked casseroles.
ABV: 12.5%
