These vineyards remain the cornerstones of the substantial production of the consistently high-quality wines that have always been the mark of Plantagenet: highly aromatic riesling, tangy citrus-tinged chardonnay, glorious Rhône-style shiraz and ultra-stylish cabernet sauvignon.\\n\\nGreat Southern is one of the largest wine growing regions in Australia, running along the south coast of Western Australia. It stretches 150km (93 miles) from the eastern edge of Manjimup (in the west) to the Pallinup River in the east, where the more cereal-focused expanses of 'Central Western Australia' begin. The region's northern edge lies almost perfectly on the 34th parallel while the coastline marks the southern boundary - a distance of around 100km (62 miles), north-to-south. \\n\\nShiraz, also known as Syrah is a popular red wine. Though the spiritual homeland of this red grape is France, Syrah has been planted throughout the world to great success. It expresses itself differently depending on the climate, soil and regional style.\\n\\nSyrah is typically bold and full-bodied, with aromatic notes of smoke, black fruit and pepper spice. Stylistically, it can be round and fruity, or dense and tannic. And in warmer New World regions like Australia, Syrah is most often be called Shiraz. \\n\\nWinemakers who work in cooler-climate growing regions, both in the Old World and New World, tend to call their wines Syrah. The most famous examples come from the northern Rhône Valley of France, notably Hermitage and Côte-Rôtie. In the New World, in regions like Sonoma Coast, California; Yarra Valley, Australia; and parts of Chile, the wines are called Syrah because they emulate the leaner, acid-driven, savory styles of the Old World French classics.\\n\\nShiraz tends to come from warmer growing climates, namely the South Australian regions of Barossa, McLaren Vale and Adelaide Hills. Stylistically, these wines are lush, fruit-forward examples that embody the warmer, sunnier climate. Shiraz is so important to Australian viticulture that it is the most planted grape variety in the majority of Australian vineyards and has become virtually synonymous with the country's wine regions, and in particular the Barossa Valley.\u0026quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":31619,\"3\":{\"1\":4,\"2\":\"\\\"$\\\"#,##0.00\"},\"4\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":16711935},\"10\":0,\"11\":4,\"12\":0,\"14\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":0},\"15\":\"Arial\",\"16\":9,\"17\":1}' data-sheets-textstyleruns='{\"1\":0}{\"1\":397,\"2\":{\"5\":0}}{\"1\":647}{\"1\":667,\"2\":{\"5\":0}}{\"1\":973}{\"1\":988,\"2\":{\"5\":0}}{\"1\":1152}{\"1\":1165,\"2\":{\"5\":0}}{\"1\":1374}{\"1\":1403,\"2\":{\"5\":0}}{\"1\":1602}{\"1\":1617,\"2\":{\"5\":0}}{\"1\":1762}{\"1\":1790,\"2\":{\"5\":0}}'\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96\/100 James Halliday, Halliday Wine Companion \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96\/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95\/100 Ray Jordan, WA Wine Guide 2021\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92\/100 James Suckling\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e91\/100 Robert Parker \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e90\/100 Stuart Knox, The Real Review \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e90\/100 James Suckling \u003c\/strong\u003e(2016 vintage)\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e90\/100 Huon Hooke, The Real Review \u003c\/strong\u003e(2016 vintage)\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSilver - International Wine Challenge \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5 Stars Winery - James Halliday\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJames Halliday, Halliday Wine Companion\u003c\/strong\u003e \"Great Southern shiraz (this wine is from Mount Barker) has a precision and a sense of inevitability about it: the depth and hue of the colour, the freshly picked fruit, the multi-spices, the cracked pepper, the persuasive tannins and the length.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSam Kim, Wine Orbit\u003c\/strong\u003e \"This is immediately appealing on the nose showing black\/blueberry, vanilla, thyme and cedar characters, followed by a sumptuous palate that delivers excellent fruit power combined with a silky texture and supple tannins.

It is rivaled in this regard only by its Bordeaux stablemate Merlot, and its opposite number in Burgundy, Pinot Noir. From its origins in Bordeaux, Cabernet has successfully spread to almost every winegrowing country in the world. It is now the key grape variety in many first-rate New World wine regions, most notably Napa Valley, Coonawarra and Maipo Valley. Wherever they come from, Cabernet Sauvignon wines always seem to demonstrate a handful of common character traits: deep color, good tannin structure, moderate acidity and aromas of blackcurrant, tomato leaf, dark spices and cedarwood.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Plantagenet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46842837860584,"sku":"PLAN-ESAQTN-CS21-7506","price":59.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/8685\/files\/PlantagenetAquitaineCabernetSauvignon2021-Mt.Barker_WesternAustralia.jpg?v=1769384904"},{"product_id":"plantagenet-york-chardonnay-2023-mt-barker-western-australia","title":"Plantagenet \"York\" Chardonnay 2023 - Mt.
