Wine Barramundi Shiraz 2017

The brand captures the true essence of Australian fun, friendship and adventure.

If there’s one thing us Aussies are proud of, it’s our wine. We know how to make a good drop. And we reckon Barramundi is a cracker! It’s an easy-drinking, fruit-driven wine that anyone can afford. 

Barramundi comes from the Murray Darling Region of Victoria where two of Australia’s greatest rivers meet. It means our vineyards are supplied with constant water, which is just as well, as there’s hardly any rainfall during the growing season! Just endless days of sunshine! And we’ve got bloody good soil too! Soil that produces rich, ripe berry fruit flavours. It’s a beaut part of the world – especially if you’re a grape. 

We first launched Barramundi in Australia in 1990 with two blends in our range and some fancy labels illustrated by iconic Aussie artist Ken Done. Two years later we launched in the UK. By 2003 we had seven wines in the range and were producing 250ml bottles as well – handy for spur-of-the-moment adventures. Strewth! We were growing faster than whiskers on a hairy nosed wombat. 

Today, we’ve ditched our 90s look in favour of fresh branding that captures the real Australia – fun-loving, friendly and full of adventure.

Barramundi Shiraz

If you’ve ever seen Uluru (Ayers Rock) when the sun’s setting, you’ll know this colour – crimson with tinges of red. As you raise your glass, it smells like summer in a country town with Satsuma plum, pepper and spice wafting in the air. Then, as you gulp that first mouthful – small sips are near impossible – its velvety tannins slide across your tongue and the rich, ripe flavours of dark berries, fruitcake and vanilla come out to enthusiastically greet you, like the ladies at an Outback fundraiser.
