A mouth-watering Shiraz with a dollop of Barbera grapes added into the blend and has always been a crowd-pleaser with its dark cherry, spiced plum, smoky, meaty and vanilla flavours supple and smooth on the palate.

Shiraz food pairings: grilled meats, cheesy pizza, grilled flat iron steak.

Reviews and Ratings

Jay Denney rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Phenomenal value. A full meal deal Shiraz. Big rich fruit, kissed with smoke and a whiff of deli meat.
From the Mclaren Vale, South Australia Wits End Luna 2018 Shiraz is fantastic value under $20. From Chalk Hill, a smoky, meaty Shiraz on the nose with dark chocolate, black cherry, plum, earthy, dried herbs, minty and smoky vanilla flavours on the palate. Enticingly inviting! Pair with a grilled New York striploin. - Community Wine Reviews

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
