Shiraz


The artwork for this label is by the English artist Dante Rossetti. The face of the lady is the same face in most of his works, is thought to be that of his wife. If the wine is made from grapes grown in Australia or New Zealand it is Shiraz. If the grapes are California grown the wine is Syrah. I have made both. This wine won 2 bronze medals, one at the Indiana State Fair and the other at the WineMaker Magazine competition in 2003. It is a medium bodied soft red.
