In the South of Margaret River, Shiraz is simply brilliant. It combines some of the welcoming fruit of the Victorian styles, the austerity of the French style with similar flavour notes, at the same time spicy, a little leafy, and redolent of white pepper. Then there is a liquorice component. This is a complex and generous wine.  

Unlike much of the South Australian produced shiraz, Happs Shiraz is matured wholly in French oak because we think that it allows the fruit to fully express its native character.

To produce its best in the Margaret River environment Shiraz demands warm summers and time on the vine. The vine thrives on harsh treatment and is always compromised by irrigation.

We think that with our rather generous trellises designed for good leaf and fruit exposure and hand picking, we get the best out of this vine. ne.
