Information

Shiraz from Argentina is a rich and full-bodied wine with a bold and spicy flavor profile. It has a deep purple color and aromas of dark fruits such as blackberry and plum, with hints of black pepper and spice.

Fun facts

Shiraz has been grown in Argentina for over 150 years? The grape variety was first introduced to the country by French immigrants in the mid-19th century and has since become an important part of Argentina's wine history. In the early years, Shiraz was mainly used for blending with other grape varieties, but in recent decades, it has gained recognition as a varietal wine.
