Millon Wines is thrilled to announce its accolade as Winery of the Year at the esteemed 2024 Melbourne International Wine Show. The recognition was awarded for the exceptional quality of the Millon Wines Eden Valley Shiraz, a wine that beautifully captures the unique terroir of South Australia’s renowned Eden Valley.
Crafted with care and precision, the Eden Valley Shiraz boasts a rich depth of flavour that makes it the perfect companion for any season. While Shiraz is traditionally seen as a winter favourite, this wine defies the usual expectations with its versatility, offering something for everyone, all year round.
Its vibrant fruit-forward profile, featuring dark berries, plum, and subtle peppery spice, balances beautifully with soft tannins, creating a wine that is just as enjoyable in the warmer months as it is in winter. With its bold yet refreshing character, the Eden Valley Shiraz is an unexpected but delightful choice whether enjoyed on its own or paired with dishes.
For spring and summer pairings, try this Shiraz with grilled lamb, charcuterie, or a flavourful Moroccan spiced chicken. Its natural acidity and complex layers of spice and fruit make it an ideal match for bolder, grilled dishes while still complimenting fresher flavours.
The Melbourne International Wine Show, widely respected across Australia, recognises winemaking excellence, with the judges particularly praising the Eden Valley Shiraz for its robust structure, elegant complexity, and adaptability. It’s a wine that is as sophisticated as it is approachable, appealing to both seasoned wine enthusiasts and casual drinkers alike.
