The Paddle Steamer South Australia Shiraz 2024 is a bold and generously flavoured Shiraz that unites the vibrant fruit richness of the Lower Murray with the depth and structure of the Barossa Valley, creating a classic full-bodied South Australian red packed with flavour and regional character. Crafted by a proud fourth-generation family-owned winery, this release reflects generations of winemaking expertise and a commitment to sourcing premium fruit from some of South Australia’s most recognised grape-growing regions.

In the glass, the wine displays a deep purple hue with youthful vibrancy, immediately hinting at the richness and intensity within. The nose is lifted and expressive, overflowing with aromas of ripe blackberry and dark plum layered with warming spice, roasted coffee bean and dark chocolate complexity. On the palate, the wine is juicy, plush and full-bodied, delivering generous waves of dark berry fruit seamlessly woven together with subtle oak spice and silky tannins. The balance between the fruit-forward Lower Murray parcels and the structure provided by Barossa Valley fruit creates a wine that is both powerful and highly approachable.

The finish is long, smooth and satisfying, lingering with notes of blackberry, plum, mocha and savoury spice that continue to evolve in the glass. Rich yet balanced, the Paddle Steamer Shiraz captures the essence of modern South Australian Shiraz — bold in flavour while maintaining elegance and drinkability.

This hearty Shiraz is perfectly suited to chargrilled ribeye steak, slow-cooked lamb shanks, smoky beef brisket, gourmet burgers or rich mushroom and lentil dishes, where its dark fruit intensity and supple tannins complement deeply savoury flavours beautifully.

Combining the richness of Barossa Valley Shiraz with the vibrant fruit generosity of the Lower Murray, The Paddle Steamer South Australia Shiraz 2024 delivers exceptional value, crowd-pleasing appeal and classic South Australian warmth in every glass.
