Bright, deep garnet. Intense, rich red and black fruits, overlayed with
dried florals and spice. A layered, generous wine with bounds of
aromatic florals and spice, luscious red and black fruits paired with
finely structured tannins and mouthwatering acidity.
The 2018 Billi Billi Shiraz is sourced from a selection of premium cool
climate vineyards throughout Victoria; predominantly the Grampians
including a portion from the Mount Langi Ghiran vineyards, home of the
iconic Langi Shiraz. The 2018 vintage delivered ideal growing conditions
with a long dry summer and cool nights.

The Billi Billi is a dependable favourite for fans of Victorian Shiraz showing both intense dark fruits as well as nice little savoury touches that lift it above much of the competition. This vintage seems stronger than many recent years showing plenty of power and complexity. Mid ruby in colour it packs quite a punch with sweet blackberry fruits topped up by savoury cedar, peppery spice and eucalyptus – impressive for the price. It is then quite supple in the mouth with layers of mulberry and cranberry fruits underlined by silky tannins. It’s certainly well pitched for a mid-week red, particularly with pink lamb cutlets.

Machined (95%) and hand-picked (5%), open fermenters, plunged and punped over. Condenses the beauty of Grampians shiraz into a well-priced wine from the lively blackberry fruits, the scent of bush mint, bay leaf and the focus on ripe, medium-weight features, it's spot on. A big mouthful of flavour for a tiny price.
Highly Rated Huon Hooke
A light-bodied, floral-scented wine, straightforward and fruit-led, with tinge of bitter chocolate and graphite on the after-palate. A tickle of sweetness in the centre, then a drying, balanced finish. Good flavour for the money, and it doesn't try too hard—it has drinkability.
