Philip Shaw 2009 "The Idiot" Shiraz


Best Red Trophy at the 2011 Royal Sydney Wine Show
Results were announced late last week and we unhesitatingly snapped up our allocation.
Philip Shaw's 2009 "The Idiot" Shiraz from Orange scored three Trophies including the BIG ONE for red wines - the Gilbert Philip for best red of the show.

"Shiraz from Orange is quite unique in style compared to most other regions in Australia and is more reminiscent of the Northern Rhone, France. Our Idiot Shiraz is a young wine that has a lovely colour, deep red with some purple hues. The aroma is spicy, lifted and intense.
There is an appealing liquorice character to the intense fruit aromas. Bright full fruit flavours in a medium-bodied package; classic cool area shiraz, some spice integrated with red fruits; lovely soft tannins and finish." PSW Website notes
