KELLY'S REVENGE SHIRAZ TETRA PAKWho was Kelly? 'Edward "Ned" Kelly (1855-1880), Australia's most famous bushranger (what we'd call an outlaw), is equally revered and reviled as a folk figure in Australia because of his defiance of colonial authority and the anti-Catholicism many of Irish descent experienced in early Australia. He and his gang famously wore armour and masks they'd either made themselves out of plough shares or had made by a blacksmith, on a spree of bank robberies, before their capture in a police shootout at Glenrowan, Victoria. Ned was hanged at Melbourne Jail on November 11th, 1880, and there have been two feature movies made about his story; one with Mick Jagger as Ned Kelly in 1970 and another in 2003 with Heath Ledger in the title roll.

RECOMMENDATION: The ideal accompaniment to beef and lamb dishes.
TASTING NOTES: Vibrant purple red in colour with ripe berry fruit flavours. Rich characters of raspberry and plum are persistent on the palate. A generous wine with soft tannins.
WINEMAKER NOTES: Fruit for this wine was sourced from the warm climate regions in South Eastern Australia. Picked during the cool night to retain the fresh flavours, the fruit was crushed then transferred to stainless steel tanks for fermentation. A parcel of this wine was exposed to oak, adding further dimension to this great wine.
