Argos Shiraz 2014, Joanne Irvine

IRVI255
Originally bred as hunting dogs, majestic greyhounds are constant companions in the life of Jo Irvine the winemaker and have also been associated with royalty, warriors and noblemen for centuries. "The Odyssey" written by Homer in 800BC, mentions the legend of Argos, a faithful greyhound waiting for his master Odysseus to return after 20 years fighting the Trojans. When he finally does return home, he disguises himself as a beggar and the only one to recognise him was his loyal greyhound Argos. (Ref: Levrier by Jo Irvine)

Lévrier Wines by Jo Irvine

Jo Irvine produces her Lévrier by Jo Irvine in a 500 tonne purpose built, small batch processing facility in the Barossa Valley. Jo believes that "Great wines are created by synergy and attention to detail both in the vineyard and the winery". She is passionate about the quality of the wines that she produces and is now enjoying worldwide recognition for the wines she has created. The Lévrier range is truly outstanding and we are delighted to be chosen by Jo to promote these wines.

Tasting Notes

Intense ruby colour in appearance. Packed with rich, dark red and blueberry fruits with 40% new French oak and an elegant, silky tannin finish.

Food Matches

Try with Beef Bourguignon pie and potato mash. Or perhaps char grilled Beef with roasted baby beetroot, field mushrooms, and roasted sweet potatoes.

Vinification

Personally selected single vineyard fruit from dedicated Barossa and Eden Valley growers, matured for 24 months in specific new French oak barrels and bottle aged for a minimum of 12 months before release.
