Shiraz from Orange is not one to deliver big sweet fruits but rather an elegant European flavour, thanks to the cool climate and altitude. The style is laden with intense white pepper, rich plum and vanillin oak. Philip Shaw is no stranger to making great Shiraz from this region, having collected a trophy for the best red wine at the 2002 National Wine Show in Canberra for an Orange Shiraz.
