Watkins’ 2018 Shiraz from Clarendon cool-climate vineyards erupts with brooding power, masterfully vinified by the Watkins team into a plush powerhouse of dark fruit intensity and savoury finesse from old-vine expressions.

Dense purple-black, the Watkins Shiraz 2018 unleashes blackberry jam, dark plum, black pepper and raspberry aromas, surging into a richly textured palate of spicy plums, leather, vanilla toast and rounded tannins that build thrilling momentum. Generous yet refined, its bold core and fine length make it irresistibly moreish.

Fire up this beast with barbecued beef ribs, lamb shanks or char-grilled kangaroo to ignite its primal edge. Snap up Watkins Clarendon Shiraz 2018 – a South Australian heavyweight that turns mates’ nights legendary.​
