The Shiraz Heavy Hitters Lineup

Craneford produce spectacular wines. There's no denying that. This is quintessential Barossa Shiraz - a whole lot of Barossa legends are involved with this wonderfully expressive drop right the way from vine to bottle and the experience shows. Beautifully done. This wine is a stunning showcase of Barossa Shiraz, crafted for pure enjoyment. The fruit is carefully sourced from highly-regarded Barossa vineyards, thanks to the winemakers' deep connections with growers of exceptional quality. That remarkable fruit delivers the wine’s purity, power, and drive. In the hands of seasoned winemakers - this lot have made more Shiraz than we've had hot dinners - this bold yet fruit-forward masterpiece comes to life. We're not just enjoying this wine, we're bloody loving it!

A tried and true Mofo fav. We love this wine for many reasons, but most of all it’s the way it jumps out of the glass. A potent elixir of vibrant red cherries and blue plums. A swirl of raspberry and liquorice. Dusky, earthy savouriness and piney cedar wood chime in late and usher the fruit along. Its one of those wines you’re reluctant to drink because there is so much joy to be had in just smelling it. On the palate herbaceous black currant leaf and herbal tea flank what is a powerful fruit core. Dark berry compote and quince dominate. Fresh and bright acidity (aided, in part, by the splash of roussanne that’s added to the ferment) gather and drive the fruit density through a long, lasting finish. As far as the Wild Pixie is concerned, this is the best incarnation yet.

Boasting all the dark fleshy plums and blackberries you can poke a stick at, with subtle but lingering black olive and chocolate nuances. A prized producer and a prized shiraz. This one's got 'long-lunch' written all over it... and a bit of 'dancing on the table with a bottle in your hand after a long-lunch' about it too, if we're honest. These are the wines we love. This is the answer to all of your midweek quaffer conundrums. This is one iconic McLaren Vale producer, known for incredible red wines that speak to their Italian heritage. Texturally, this is smoother than Barry White and a lingering liveliness on the back palate ensures pleasurable quaffing from now right through the next few years. It’s an easy-going medium-bodied drop with surprising balance, depth of flavour and length.
