Taylors Estate Limestone Coast, Clare Valley Shiraz $20 

Why I chose it 

- Hearty red for the months ahead.

- Taylor’s produces some of the best value reds in Australia.

- Australian wine sales to China, once their biggest wine market, have ground to a halt, resulting in many bargains if you are prepared to shop around. 

What does it taste like? 

- Dense, inky red with choc/mocha, cassis, anise/liquorice, vanilla, cigar box and spicy oak. Nicely layered shiraz with obvious cellaring potential. 

Why it’s a bargain? 

- Terrific quality for less than $20.

Where can you buy it? 

- Whisky and More $16.99, The Good Wine Co. $17.99, New World $17.99, Countdown $16.

Food match? 

- Hearty stews and casseroles.

Will it keep? 

- Yes, good for 5 or 6 years if stored well.
