Shot In The Dark Shiraz Petite Sirah is an intensely bold, voluptuous, and velvety South Australian red blend that punches well above its modest price tag. Masterfully crafted by the multi-award-winning winemaker John Quarisa, this label is built on the philosophy of daring to take a chance. By blending classic Shiraz with Petite Sirah (also known as Durif), Quarisa unlocks an incredibly deep, ink-coloured wine that rewards fans of big, lush, and unashamedly full-bodied reds.
Tasting Notes
  • Aroma: Shows off intense red and deep purple hues in the glass. The nose bursts with a rich, youthful bouquet of black cherries, dark plums, mocha, and sweet confectionery fruits.
  • Palate: Voluptuous, round, and super smooth. The palate is coated in dense flavours of blackberry compote, cassis, and black cherry, effortlessly balanced by notes of dark chocolate, anise, and a kick of liquorice.
  • Texture & Finish: Driven by fine-grained, succulent tannins and a juicy line of acid. The finish is long and velvety, trailing off with lingering layers of warm vanillin oak, espresso, and baking spices.

  • Slow-cooked beef stews, casseroles, or lamb shanks
  • Wood-fired pizzas topped with hot salami, chorizo, and mushrooms
  • Barbecued ribs slathered in smoky marinade
