2021 Shiraz Wines
Shiraz is a firm favourite, both here in the winedirect.com.au office (well, apart from Adam, our Digital Director, but we try not to hold it against him) and among our customers. We get a lot of enquiries for 2021 vintage Shiraz, so we’ve put them all in one place to make it easy for you.
These are all exceptional examples of South Australian Shiraz, from classic Shiraz-growing regions like the Barossa Valley and McLaren Vale.
Why is 2021 Shiraz so sought-after? Well, that depends where it comes from. But generally speaking, temperatures in South Australia were lower than average, and there was rainfall after two years of drought in some regions, which made this vintage noteworthy.
Take a look at our tasting panel approved selection of 2021 Shiraz below.
