Vibrant spicy aromas of red currant, plum and a touch of spice.

A well balanced medium bodied wine with a lively palate of juicy red berry fruits, fine gentle tannins and a soft silky finish.

    A Promise of Quality
    Promised Land is designed for immediate drinking and a decent bang for your buck. For around $14 (and often cheaper), they're reliably good value. I could just as easily have written about the cabernet as the shiraz -they're both good. This has plums and red berries, and some savoury spice. Nothing overly complex, but certainly a notch up on what the price would suggest.

    The red berry, plum and spice flavours of this drop will be a good accompaniment to a grilled steak or gourmet sausages at a barbecue, or with a mature cheese afterwards.

    Sour cherries and plums on the nose. Sweet intence berries in the mouth with zesty acidity.

    Ray Jordan, West Australian, May 2010

    Loopy, quirky but all good
    Deep dark colour. Bouquet of cedar and sweet vanillin oak plus some fragrant plum and dark berry fruits. Palate is warm and soft with rich earthy shiraz supported with supple tannins. Drinking now.

    Shiraz Tasting
    Clean, with good length and gently rounded tannins. Surprisingly cool and elegant for this price point.

    Bright Hue; a very well made, juicy shiraz with red and black fruits jostling for a position on the first row of the grid, tannins and oak somewhere in the pit lane. Great value

  • World's greatest shiraz challenge NV

    n/a, Winestate, October 2010

    World's greatest shiraz challenge
    Smells of dark chocolate and pencil shavings! Patate rich with sweet, dark fruit.
