A very lively Shiraz, perfect for a barbecue with friends. While the intentions with the "Ladies who Shoot their Lunch" series was to produce a range of wines that would pair well with game meats, I suspect this Shiraz will be quite food friendly in general. Fowles winery and vineyards are located in Strathbogie Ranges, a cool climate region in central Victoria residing on a granite range. It is a family owned winery, lead by Matt Fowles with Victor Nash as the chief winemaker.
Opening with a spicy, peppery nose, this has a great round palate delivering juicy dark berry fruit and a nice touch of minerality. I'll buy this again, and look forward to trying it with some game.
