Koonowla Reverence Shiraz 2021

2021 Koonowla
Shiraz

Shiraz is the big player in the Clare Valley – the most planted grape variety, favoured for its richness and savoured for its vitality. Acclaimed as one of the region’s great red wines, it can offer a spectrum of styles from bold and powerful, through lively and expressive, to deep and meaningful. One thing’s for certain – it’s never short of local personality.

Koonowla wines comes from a very special place in our hearts, their home one of the Clare Valley’s thriving historic treasures. Our shiraz tells the same story: classic regional qualities in an exciting modern style. Generous dark plum flavours with a delicate, exotic spice and subtle oak notes. Medium to full bodied style. Delicious drinkability.
