History: This rain secured an excellent soil moisture regime for the healthy Spring growth and abundant fruit set of Shiraz vines. January and March were relatively cool which promoted vibrant colours and good acid structure. February was warm to hot which ensuredripe berry flavours and clean Shiraz grapes at harvest. Shiraz Rose captures both rich berry fruit flavours for the warmer grape districts with structure and spice from the cooler regions.

Winemaking details: The fully ripened Shiraz grapes for 2004 were cool night harvested and tank pressed as soon as the grapes arrived to minimise skin contact and ensure vibrant and soft fruit flavours. Natural pink colour is a result of rapid tank press process. After clarification, the jiuce was cool fermented with selected yeast strain. Final wines were blended, stabilised and clarified before early bottling. A small amount of residual carbon dioxide is present as a result of yeast fermentation and early bottling.

International Wine Challenge 2007

Wines in the Tesco range picked up more than 287 awards at the International Wine Challenge (IWC), an increase of 27% on last year.

Every year, producers, retailers and critics from around the world gather together to take part in the IWC, the world's largest tasting competition. Such is its prestige and influence that it's known as the 'Wine Oscars'. This year, the 400-strong jury blind tasted approximately 10,000 wines from 37 countries.

Each is judged solely on its merit, so wines from the top Chateaux go head-to-head with those from individual winemakers. Neither reputation, nor money, is allowed to cloud anyone's judgement. During the first week of the Challenge, one question dominates: Is this wine worth an award? If so, it goes through to the second round.

Judging is scrupulously fair, even those wines rejected at this stage are double-checked to make sure that nothing has been overlooked.In the second week, it's down to business. Those wines that have made the grade are given a ‘Commended’, and then the medals are awarded from bronze through silver to gold. A tiny number of medal winners are considered worthy of special praise and receive a Trophy for being the best in their field. All the wines are judged on quality and style - their price is irrelevant.In total, wines in the Tesco range picked up more than 287 awards. We're very proud of the quality of our wine range and it's pleasing when others agree. Click on the link to see a selection of our best award winning wines currently in stock:

Yaldara Est Shiraz Cabernet

A full-bodied red blend with ripe, spicy, berry fruit flavours with subtle sweet vanillin oak, and a voluptuous fleshy finish

Storage instructions: To enjoy this wine at its best, drink within 3 years of purchase.

History: The wine was blended specifically to create a wine with intense character from the three varieties used. The blend is made from wine from South Eastern Australia to allow the flexibility of vineyards from this region to produce the best possible wine.

Winemaking details: The fruit was harvested at night to take advantage of the cooler conditions. It was then crushed and fermented on skins in stainless steel fermenting tanks for six days. Following the ferment was pressed off skins and inoculated for malolactic fermentation. Blending occurred after both primary and secondary fermentation occurred before stabilisation and clarification.
