And donβt forget even if opting for a red everything needs to be chilled in this weather. Donβt be afraid to pop a bottle in the fridge for a brief chill. Most importantly, if you choose to imbibe, itβs especially important to keep hydrated so plenty of water #DrinkResponsibly

Iβm not very familiar with Margaret River shirazs though I do have a few examples from Lehmann and Duval in the Barossa Valley.
This is my most interesting shiraz, a premium red sparkling. Who knew?!
