Tomfoolery Black & Blue Shiraz

"It’s a hard knock life for the underdog, but don’t start bowing your tiny violins just yet. As the vintages roll on, the artisan winemaker gloves up for the proverbial David vs. Goliath, often waking bruised and battered championing scars that would make any prizefighter cringe. But with the willpower to reach the twelfth round of a barnburner comes the drive not just to survive, but go the distance as we won’t be the ones kissing the canvas. Inspired by our Barossan forefathers who never gave in, and always kept off the ropes, always staying true even if slightly black and blue. "Tomfoolery Wines
