Caravan Petite Sirah 2021

Known to Aussie locals as Durif, but now dressed up under the more charming name of Petite Sirah, this Caravan wine from John Quarisa certainly lives up to its grand reputation. Bold and full-bodied, it’s a powerhouse of intense fruit, toasty oak, dark chocolate, and that warm, festive richness reminiscent of Christmas cake. With a concentration that's nothing short of opulent, this is a cuddly, feel-good red that wraps you up in warmth—perfect for fireside moments or lively BBQ banter.

Smell
A captivating bouquet of vanilla and toasted oak, layered with deep notes of liquorice, blackcurrant, plum duff, chocolate, and a touch of Christmas cake.

Taste
Luxuriously dark and sweetly fruited, this wine delivers a warming rush of alcohol that gracefully carries through a rich and long palate, backed by a fine foundation of grainy tannins. It’s a full-throttle, generous red with incredible concentration, offering outstanding value for its bold character. Best enjoyed young (now through to 2026), particularly alongside roasted red meats. Serve at 16-18°C for the perfect experience.
