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 are once again making plans to expand our Texas vineyard acreage.

This 2006 Shiraz is  a harmonious blend of wines from Texas and California.  The Texas Shiraz is from the Mont Sec Vineyard (Far West Texas).  Llano Shiraz is a somewhat fruity wine, rich in character, great with food , and can even be enjoyed slightly chilled.
