Vineyards sit 950m above sea level and good climatic conditions allow the winery to maintain vineyards almost naturally. During the vegetative season there is a difference of temperature between day and night of 15C allowing for excellent color and tannin development.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Formula Robert&#8217;s Shiraz from Australia ($19.99)<\/strong> &#8211;\u00a0 This is a big, full flavored Shiraz produced from 40 year old vines, grown on the Adelaide Plains.
