Description Black grape varieties are particularly popular in South Australia, bathing in the Australian sun ensuring optimal ripeness. No more so than Shiraz – the most planted grape in the area. Deep and ripe in black fruit flavour, distinctive in its peppery spice qualities and with a long, moreish finish that will have you coming back for more. With blackberry, plum and fragrant spice, the Steeple Block Shiraz is made for sipping with fine fare like fillet steak or slow-cooked lamb shanks.
The South Australian wine industry is responsible for more than half the production of all Australian wine. South Australia is a vast area with a great diversity in geography, allowing the state to produce a wide range of grape varieties from cool-climate Riesling in the Clare Valley to big, full-bodied Shiraz of the Barossa Valley. Some of Australia's most famous wines like Penfolds Grange, Jacob's Creek, Yalumba and Henschke Hill of Grace are produced here.
