DRG Daryl Groom Barossa Zinfandel Shiraz 2015
About the wine
Incredible blend that Daryl can only dare to make because of Angels
- Daryl makes this ripe, dark and delicious wine from his estate vineyard that he planted in the Kalimna area of the Barossa Valley.
- That region is home to some of Australia’s greatest Shiraz vineyards. And known for its unforgiving soils, he felt it a perfect site to help pioneer low-yield Zinfandel grape into Australia. So this wine is a unique cross of the flagship grapes of Australia and California, made by one of the best winemakers to straddle both continents.
- Put meat on a grill. Apply heat. Thank me later.
Best before
Its really lovely now. I love the fresh pepper and spice and forward fruit. It will get better with a years age as the tannins and youthful acidity will soften and integrate more.
Serving advice
In really hot weather serve a little chilled. Otherwise good to just open and serve straight out the bottle. Helps if there is a wine glass!
Food match
This is a wine that works well with so many types of food. From red meat to salmon and everything between. I love this wine with pizza or burgers. It would also be an awesome red wine match to any spicy or gamey foods and it is great with BBQ.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Daryl Groom
- Meet Daryl... a 35-year veteran of the wine biz, credited eight-times as Winemaker of the Year, named by Food & Wine Magazine as one of 11 visionaries to change the world of wine... and oh yes, he served up his wines at the Oscars and Emmys two years in a row! Safe to say, the man's accomplished.
- Working as the senior white and red winemaker at Penfolds, his 1986 Penfolds Grange was arguably one of the top 3 Granges ever made - 98 points from Spectator and Robert Parker. And now that he works for you, he loves showing off wines from Australia and his California home – Sonoma and Russian River Valley.
- Thanks to your funding, Daryl can focus on doing what he loves – making great wine and sharing great wine. And he selects the best barrels he needs and farms to the best quality. "You are a gift from God to a winemaker," he says. "I knew there were Angels in heaven!"
