Juicy and delectable, the 2012 Angove Family Winemakers Warboys Vyd Shiraz is reminiscent of some of the best wines from France's southern Rhone Valley. Textured and supple, yet rich and persistent; shows plenty of bold, ripe fruit flavors. This one calls for braised meat dishes on a cool night and lots of conversation. (Best Served: 2014-2020)

Some deeply tarry accents and intense fresh red plum and red currant fruit aromas as well as a strong licorice thread. The palate has a smooth-honed feel with long, soft tannins that build. Holds well. Drink now. Screw cap.

The Angove family company, Angove's Pty. Ltd., ranks among Australia's largest privately owned wine companies and stands as one of the few with strong interests in distilling as well as grape growing and winemaking.
His early experimentation with vines, winemaking and distilling, led to the establishment of a proud family business. Dr. Angove's initial plantings at the township of Tea Tree Gully in the Adelaide foothills were the forerunner of one of the largest vineyards in the southern hemisphere - the magnificent Nanya Vineyard at Renmark in South Australia's Murray Valley.
Since World War II, the company has steadily expanded its operations and structure. Their Renmark facility has grown to become a major winemaking and distilling enterprise, with storage capacity for more than15 million litres of wine and spirit. In 1947, Thomas William Carlyon Angove, grandson of the founder, took the helm as Managing Director, beginning a new era in development.
In 1983, the fourth generation of the family took control, when John Carlyon Angove succeeded his father as Managing Director of the company.
The success of the Angove's identity owes a great deal to a pioneering spirit. The same urge that drove Dr. Angove to leave his home in Cornwall and emigrate to Australia is evident in many of the developments the company has taken since.
