A fresh and fragrant, full-bodied Shiraz from the cool-climate Adelaide Hills in South Australia with a blackberry, dark cherry, dark chocolate, liquorice, mint and cracked black pepper flavours on the palate. The Shiraz was fermented in stainless steel tank with 25% being whole bunch fermented. The wine was matured in 30% new French oak barrels.

Shiraz food pairings: roast pheasant with sauerkraut, grilled marinated game birds, Hasenpfeffer.

Reviews and Ratings

Jenny Ratcliffe-Wright CWM rated this wine as 94/100 with the following review:

A big hulk of a wine that totally over delivers its sub $20 price point. Fragrantly floral with an attractive earthiness, and loaded with black fruit flavours, and classic shiraz spice. 16 months in French oak. Buy it! A classic carbonara pasta would do this justice. @wrightwineblog

From Adelaide Hills, Sidewood 2016 Shiraz is great value under $20. Fresh and fragrant from this cooler-climate wine region, with blackberry, cherry, liquorice, minty, mocha and cracked pepper spice flavours on the palate with lingering fine-grained tannins. Enjoy now and for the next 15 years. - Community Wine Reviews
