ALTE Shiraz

ALTE Shiraz, crafted by Cumulus Vineyards in New South Wales’ Orange region, brings fragrant dark fruit, warming spice and cool-climate freshness to the glass. This inviting Australian red combines generous flavour with an elegant touch, offering a supple, savoury style that feels equally suited to casual dinners and weekend entertaining.

Dark cherry, plum and blackberry mingle with dark chocolate, crushed pepper and Chinese five-spice notes. The palate is generous without feeling heavy, with balanced oak and soft, fine tannins giving the fruit a polished frame. ALTE Orange Shiraz finishes with savoury length, balancing juicy richness with refreshing regional character.

Pour it with grilled lamb cutlets, slow-cooked beef cheeks or smoky barbecue ribs for a satisfying match. Mushroom and thyme pizza also complements its earthy spice, while roast vegetables and firm cheeses make appealing alternatives. Its rounded texture and lively fruit bring plenty of flavour to a generous shared table.
