Metala White Label Shiraz
Six generations have nurtured some of the most historic vineyards in Australia.
In 1839 William Formby arrived in Australia from the United Kingdom and it was in 1882, after four decades pioneering South Australia, he purchased the now historic Metala estate.
In 1891 William and his son, Arthur, planted 21 rows of Shiraz and 14 rows of, what are now the oldest family-owned Cabernet Sauvignon vines in the world. In 1894 a further 5.4 acres of Shiraz were planted.

Nose:
Aromas of blackberry and dark fruits dominate the nose, showcasing their ripe and juicy allure. The fragrant bouquet is complemented by a delicate touch of vanilla, adding a subtle hint of sweetness and warmth. Intriguingly, a gentle waft of menthol and mint tickles the senses, reminiscent of the refreshing notes found in Throaties lozenges, where blackcurrant and eucalyptus oil blend harmoniously.
Palate:
Succulent blackberries and other dark fruits take the forefront, saturating the palate with their luscious flavours. Fine tannins add a gentle structure, providing a velvety texture that enhances the overall experience. The wine exhibits balanced acidity, harmonizing the fruitiness and adding brightness to the profile.
