Clarendon Hills, Liandra Syrah other_regions_australia this stays bright and balancedThe 1997 Shiraz Liandra (14. 5% natural alcohol) is a blend of the Clarendon and Kangarilla vineyards. It has an opaque purple color, as well as black cherry and blackberry scented aromatics with tarry pepper notes.

This wine is a crowd pleasing, exotic offering that takes the level of richness
