Shiraz vs Syrah, Aussies vs Kiwis!

It’s as contentious as the rivalry that exists between all our major sporting codes. Regardless of which side of the ditch you reside, we both love the contest that exists between Aussies & Kiwis… it’s the glue that unites us in times of neighbourly need. And as is often the case between our great nations, it’s the similarities and not differences that connect us. The same philosophy applies to Syrah & Shiraz… genetically the same grape, their different names are more a statement of their style diversity, yet they share definite similarities. So, which is better? Both have their merits… at FWD Co. we believe it comes down to personal taste! We enjoy the debate and reserve the right to swap countries on this argument depending on the individual wine. So, come taste your way through a fantastic line up of Shiraz vs Syrah at similar price & quality offerings. Wines to be tasted on the day: Vidal Reserve Syrah vs Saltram 1859 Shiraz Trinity Hill Gimblett Gravels Syrah vs Peter Lehmann The Barossan Shiraz Elephant Hill Syrah vs Dandelion Lionheart of Barossa Shiraz Esk Valley Winemakers Reserve Syrah vs d’Arenberg The Dead Arm Shiraz We’ll even have some Food Trucks onsite at both SuperStores. Guerilla Grill will be at Constellation Drive & Double Dutch Fries at Lunn Ave from 11am through to 2pm. Any in store purchase during this time will get you a free serve at the Foodtruck at each store! Look forward to seeing you there….no under arm bowling or ball tampering allowed!
