Win a Shiraz Magnum - just in time for the festive season!

Magnums are a larger format of wine bottle (1.5 litres) that look fantastic, plus they are a great way to celebrate the festive season.. and for a bigger parties of people they tend to last that little bit longer!  Wine typically ages slower and more evenly out of magnum, as the ratio of wine to air is greater.


It's getting close to the 10th of December, when we'll be giving away a Magnum of 2006 Standish 'Standish' Shiraz from the Barossa worth over $200.  It's not too late to enter the competition - just by subscribing to this blog or leaving a comment puts you in the draw for this fantastic wine.


And if you've got friends and family who are interested in wine - let them know about it - if they win the Magnum I'm sure they'll invite you over to help drink it!


The Standish Wine Company make real wines that uniquely express the Barossa Valley- they have a distinct personality. The 2006 Standish 'Standish' Shiraz is from a single vineyard planted in 1912 and soils are fine white sand over deep, heavy red clay.   The talented Dan Standish, ex Torbreck, comes from a 6th generation Barossan grape growing family, so he knows a thing or two about the Barossa. Plus he has gained incredible international experience in Spain, America and France.


The 2006 Standish has a mouthwatering silky texture backed up by intense blackberry and plum notes and aromatic spices. Delicious now but also set up for the long-term.

Thanks everyone for your support so far  - and good luck on December 10th for the competition!
