Fire transforms the vine and leaves something brilliant in its wake.
In Australia's sun-scorched vineyards, heat isn't a season – it's a force of nature. It doesn't relent, and neither does Ember. Long summers forge Pinot Noir and Shiraz into something bold, concentrated, and alive with intensity. Dark fruit, warm spice, a finish that holds like a coal long after the flame has passed. This is a wine that doesn't just warm the glass, it stays with you.
Tasting Notes
Ripe plum and strawberry on the nose, layered with warm spice and a whisper of cracked pepper. Medium-bodied on the palate with juicy fruit, soft tannins, and a long, deeply satisfying finish.
Food Pairing
Pinot Noir Shiraz is built for bold, comforting flavours. Try it with spiced lamb meatballs in a rich tomato sauce or a simple board of aged cheddar and fig preserves.
