?Marketplace Product - Please allow up to 3 - 5 days for dispatch.

The ultimate representation of my pursuit of Hunter Burgundy is the Rare Game Shiraz. Built on the sacred terroir of the Tinkler s 48 Block (once part of the historic Lindeman s Ben Ean vineyard), the Rare Game seeks to defy the laws of chemistry (and logic) by offering a level of flavour intensity, texture, and length that belies its medium bodied frame and modest alcohol content and that s just the beginning. In the Rare Game, we expect more and more as it ages gracefully in the bottle. The rich layers of complexity that emerge from the seemingly humble foundation, over the 10 plus years we ask of it, goes to the very heart of what get s me excited about this globally unique expression of Shiraz. Long live Hunter Burgundy!

This wine's charcuterie meantiness pairs well with cured meats and cheeses. Its rich flavours complement duck beautifully and for a vegetarian option, grilled eggplant drizzled with olive oil.
