The Black Stump Reserve is a luscious, black-fruited old-vine Shiraz from the folks who crafts our #1 Australian wine.
The Black Stump is an Australian legend that wins legions of raving fans and major acclaim from critics and competitions across the globe. We were thrilled when winemaker Alan Kennett (winner of the Jimmy Watson Trophy, Australia’s top wine prize) decided to make this limited-edition Reserve version from old, low-yielding vines grown in the renowned Clare Valley and McLaren Vale regions.
The gnarled heirlooms offer precious little fruit, but the grapes they do produce pack a serious punch of rich, concentrated flavor. Back in the winery, Alan ages the wine in fine oak barrels that contribute subtle vanilla flavors..
As you’ll taste, it’s a recipe for excellence. The Black Stump Reserve is elegant and well structured, with luscious blackberry and mocha-spice aromas and flavors. Rounded tannins introduce a silky-smooth finish and make this Shiraz an ideal partner for roasted meats, hearty barbecue and more.
The original Black Stump always sells quickly—and when it runs out, customers call the winery to beg for more! You’ll need to act fast to enjoy the luxury Reserve edition.
