Taste Red, Feel Rad with These Premium Red Wines

Red wines are collectively categorised as “red” but the actual colour of such wines can range from intense violet to brown – dark violet for younger and newly - produced wines, red for mature wines and brown for older and cellared wines. Some premium red wines that can make any occasion special and delight their drinkers are:

•  999 Jacob's Creek Centenary Hill Shiraz: This wine displays typical Barossa Valley characters and is rich with blackberry flavours. The fruit for this wine was selected from the best vineyards of Jacob's Creek and was left to age for a couple extra years to develop complex notes of mint and raspberry liqueur that it is loved for.

• 2002 Frankland Estate Olmo's Reward: Frankland Estate is one of the most popular and widely - known wineries of Western Australia. It is famous for the excellent Riesling as well as this unique Olmo's Reward wine. This wine is a blend of red wines dominated by Cabernet Franc. A tropical mix of vanilla and herbal notes give it a lively aroma which goes well with the cherry - liqueur flavour of this wine.

•    Penfolds Bin 138 Grenache Shiraz Mourvedre: Every year, a wide variety of Bin wines are released. But this wine is the one that is worth waiting for and can be drunk enthusiastically upon its release. It is extremely juicy and warm - hearted with a little hint of earthiness. With a medium - bodied palate and a red liquoriceflavour, this wine is sure to uplift your spirits.

•    2002 Penfolds St. Henri Shiraz: The Penfolds Grange wine is probably the most famous one of all Australian wines and the equally good St. Henri, is often overlooked. However, this is a grave mistake. St. Henri is an elegant and classy wine that is liquorice - red in colour and is manufactured without any use of new - oak. Another must try from the Penfolds!

Along with these some other not to miss premium red wines include the 2003 Grant Burge Nebuchadnezzar Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon,Penley Estate 2008 Chertsey, Yabby Lake Single Vineyard 2009 Pinot Noir, Oakridge 864 Single Block Release Pinot Noir 2012 etc.
