Juliard Shiraz 2021
$38.00I asked one of the most influential winemaker’s in Beechworth recently what he thought Beechworth was best at and his answer surprised me: shiraz. Really!? Not nebbiolo, chardonnay, pinot noir, or sangiovese. Nup, trust me he said, shiraz. Beechworth’s shiraz is different. A sort of combination of Northern Rhone/Barossa/contemporary Heathcote. Juliard’s is medium to full […]
