Wolf Blass Eaglehawk Shiraz 75cl

This is the kind of Australian Shiraz you pour when you want instant comfort with a little swagger. Think dark fruit, a peppery kick, and a cocoa-like depth that makes every sip feel like it’s doing more than just “being red wine.” It’s bold enough to feel satisfying, but not so intense it hijacks your evening.

What makes it special is the classic Shiraz combo: ripe fruit up front, savoury spice in the middle, and a dry, gently grippy finish that keeps you going back for another taste. If you’re building a go-to rotation of red wine, this one earns its spot by being reliably flavour-packed and easy to enjoy.

• Appearance: Deep ruby with purple edges, looks rich in the glass.
• Nose: Blackberry, plum, black cherry, plus cracked black pepper and a hint of vanilla-like warmth.
• Taste: Dark berries and plum compote, cocoa, and savoury spice, with moderate acidity that keeps it lively.
• Body: Medium to full-bodied, satisfying without feeling syrupy.
• Finish: Dry and peppery, with dark fruit lingering and soft tannins that gently grip.

Shiraz is famous in Australia for a reason. It’s the red wine style that can do crowd-pleasing fruit and serious savoury notes at the same time. This bottle leans into that identity, which is why it works so well for everything from casual pizza nights to a proper roast dinner situation.

If you’re new to Australian red wine, this is a friendly entry point, it shows the classic Shiraz personality without asking you to “study” it. If you already love Shiraz, it scratches that itch for dark fruit and pepper in a way that feels instantly familiar.

It’s also a solid pick when you want one red that keeps different tastes happy. Fruit-forward drinkers get their berry hit, spice-lovers get pepper and savoury edges, and anyone who likes a drier red gets a clean, structured finish.

Fun Fact: Wolf Blass is one of Australia’s most decorated wine names, the founder, Wolfgang Blass, started the label in the 1960s after moving from Germany, and built it into a household favourite by making wine that’s serious about flavour but never fussy.
