Paying tribute to the pioneering voyage of the First Fleet in 1787, First Fleet The Captain Shiraz 2021 is a modern, approachable Barossa Valley red that captures the bold spirit of discovery with bright fruit and effortless drinkability. Crafted using modern winemaking techniques to preserve freshness and varietal purity, a small portion of the blend was matured with subtle oak influence, enhancing structure while maintaining a focus on primary fruit.

This Shiraz shows vibrant aromas and flavours of mulberry and plum, seamlessly interwoven with a hint of spice. The palate is smooth and medium-bodied, offering an easy-drinking profile that remains versatile and food-friendly. A clean, soft finish makes it a great everyday choice for lovers of Barossa reds.

Rated 91 Points by Sam Kim of Wine Orbit, this release proves that value and quality can go hand-in-hand, especially when sustainability is also in focus—this wine is bottled at a carbon-neutral facility, reinforcing its modern, forward-thinking identity.

Enjoy The Captain Shiraz 2021 with barbecued sausages, beef burgers, chargrilled vegetables, or a smoky eggplant dip, pairing beautifully with its soft fruit and spice balance.
