Ok, now here is a cancelled Export meant for the UK! The financial woes affecting Europe is decidedly in your favour. Almost like Monopoly - "Collect $200 for NOT passing this magic wine deal up!"
I look very closely at these wines to ensure they live up to to our 100% money back quality with the team of professional tasters here at Wine Box and these two wines (there is a Pinot Grigio as well) stood out like Big Ben!
This 80% Shiraz is all fruit and dynamic , shirt front lifting, powerful aromas of dark spicy plum, blackberry and oak. The small component of Viognier lift aromatics & add some spice and velvet layers to the package. As the nose gets you immediately you are hoping for the next test to engage and deliver at the same level. That is where we see this little number take off with Virgins Atlantic travel department. The palate has big bold and layered depths of lip smacking lusciousness. flavours of mixed berries and hints of liquorice, and is well balanced with soft tannins and spicy oak. Office drinks-wedding function- good friends - budget conscious? These are the wines to stun you.
Tortoiseshell Bay is a mythical place on the Australian coast which, according to ancient legends and rock paintings, was the home of the giant tortoise. At this place the spirits of the ancient people were required to cross the river mouth before they could reach the world of eternal life; the only path by which they could travel lay across the shell of the tortoise.
