The Black Stump Reserve Shiraz 2018

The Black Stump is an Australian legend that wins legions of raving fans and major acclaim from critics and competitions across the globe. We were thrilled when the family behind it decided to make this limited-edition Reserve version … and we think you will be too.

What makes the Reserve so special?
Head winemaker Alan Kennett (winner of the Jimmy Watson Trophy, Australia’s top wine prize) crafted it with 100% Shiraz from the premium Clare Valley and old, low-yielding vines. These gnarled heirlooms offer precious little fruit, but the grapes they do produce pack a serious punch of rich, concentrated flavor. Back in the winery, Alan finished the wine with aging in fine oak barrels.

As you’ll taste, it’s a recipe for excellence. The Black Stump Reserve is elegant and well-structured, with luscious blackberry, mocha-spice, and subtle vanilla aromas and flavors. Rounded tannins introduce a silky-smooth finish and make this Shiraz an ideal partner to roasted meats, hearty barbecue, and more.
