Dean Hewitson loves a challenge, and this powerful wine from the Barossa initially began as one.

A friend wanted Dean to make a traditional, full-bodied Barossan Shiraz that could be enjoyed in its youth over lunch or dinner, and the Ned & Henry’s Shiraz was the result.

It’s an explosion of red, black and purple fruits, touched with French oak spice and a rich, warm texture. Wallet-friendly to boot, too! Time to fire up the barbie.
