NOTES: Shiraz is the among the
fastest growing varietals in the
country. Llano's Shiraz is made in a
velvety smooth, textured, full flavored
Australian style. Consumer demand for
Llano Estacado Shiraz has been so strong
that it has required us to source grapes
from beyond the Texas border. Our 1998
planting of this variety is now well
into production and we continue to
increase our Texas grape yield with
every year.
Until we have enough Texas production of
quality grapes we will continue to work
with small producers in the California
Central Coast (Paso Robles) to assure
ongoing production of premium wine.
This 2004 Shiraz is a blend of wines
from Texas and California. The Texas
Shiraz is from the Mont Sec Vineyard
(Far West Texas). Llano Shiraz is a
special wine, an expression of it's
Texas influence with remarkable flavor
and character. |
