SH/19 - Shiraz
Like you’re standing out front of the bank with a bag full of cash. This is a steal!
Not the Shiraz your Dad drinks. This modern take on an Australian classic is our interpretation of what our friends want to slide into their glass.
The 11th vintage of Shiraz produced by Vinteloper. Our Shiraz is OG.

The white label SH/19 is wrapped in style with layers of cool-climate restraint, but its generous where Shiraz needs to be.
The first thing that grabs your attention is the perfume. There are aromas everywhere! It has the Vinteloper signature multi-layered bouquet of plum, cherry, boysenberry, rhubarb, dried fig, bay leaf and sage.
In the mouth its a true medium-bodied style, fresh and vibrant with fine slatey tannins that melt in your mouth.
- Adelaide Hills. This will be the last Vinteloper wine to be released for some time that contains grapes grown from our own property.
