(Notes from the 2011 vintage)

Referencing the royal family's first visit to Australia in 1954, Philip Shiraz embodies a centuries-old family tradition. Crafted in a distinctly Australian style, this complex wine comes from the best-located plots in the Hunter region. Aromas of spices and wild berries mingle with subtle, well-controlled oak. A local favorite!
