Virgin Wines - The Black Pig' Australian Shiraz Red Wine Case - 6 Bottles (75cl)

Product Information

We source from predominantly small artisan vineyards that are sourced directly by Irish wine merchants. We are not wine snobs, the black pig is not a fancy place; just a simple place where good friends can relax, eat and drink good food and good wine and create memories for many years to come. Each of these bottles has accumulated hundreds if not thousands of positive reviews, and are a staple part of our incredible range of wines. p>Sugar, Vegetable Fat (Coconut, Palm Kernel), Cocoa Butter, Cocoa Mass, Whole Milk Powder, Lactose, Skimmed Milk Powder, Anhydrous Milk Fat, Hazelnuts, Emulsifier (Soya Lecithin), Barley Malt Extract, Flavourings, Vanilla Beans, Milk Chocolate contains - Cocoa Solids: 31% min. Named after winemaker Steve Grimley's group of vineyard-dwelling piggies, this Shiraz continues the proud heritage of that hugely popular range.

When you think of Spider Pig you might think of a fictional character from The Simpsons Movie, we think innovation. A revelation if you're more used to the thumping, ostentatious style typical of the more traditional Aussie fare.Combining perfectly ripe spicy Shiraz with blackberry and herbal scented Cabernet Sauvignon has become second nature to the South Australian winemakers. The whole point of Spider Pig is that it's not about the winemaker or an estate, it's about eliminating pretence, preconceived ideas and focusing on what really matters. We have now been working with the Fuse team for more than a decade blending up precisely to our stylistic needs. Natural wines distinguish themselves however by a low interventionist approach on behalf of the wine maker. Last but not least is the Cabernet Sauvignon with its blackcurrant and bramble fruit flavours, which has received over 1,600 5-star reviews - put simply this case of reds is sure to please!

The winemaker is then given total freedom to source the grapes they want and to create the wine they want.We recommend at least 15 minutes decanting/aeration by the bottle or by the glass to allow the flavours to open up. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. Combine this majestic swan with a lick of the CINSATION and we present to you the special, the inimitable Spider Pig The Black Pig.

The name comes from the winemaker's latest venture, the rearing of big black pigs for making his very own version of Iberico bellota ham.

ORANGE WINE is made from white wine grapes that are left to macerate with their skins which impart tannin, grip, structure, colour and flavour to the finished wine. Chocolate Rewards are special rewards that we give registered users whenever you make purchases at Green and Black's online. Wild indigenous yeasts are used for fermentation; fining and filtration is generally avoided; dry farming, manual labour, the traditional method of horse and plough are other examples of the natural approach.

When our winemaker Steve was offered this parcel he recognised that it was the best fruit he'd seen in years and produced a wine that sat above our all time favourite Aussie red - The Black Pig! This has turned out beautifully, sporting lovely lemon-fresh fruit with crisp-apple vitality, born in the spirit of the La Dolce Vita. Sourced from perfectly ripe Shiraz grapes from plots across the state, creating the beautifully formed fruit we've come to expect from this varietal.

Every of those bottles has accumulated hundreds if no longer thousands of sure reviews, and are a staple a part of our implausible range of wines. Aged in oak barrels for 6 years under a voile ‘veil’ of yeast - similar to Sherry - exposed to oxygen, but unfortified. Using fruit sourced from his personal contacts in the McLaren Vale, winemaker Steve Grimley's team has produced a smooth, mouth-filling wine that's vegan-friendly.

A decadent trio of three Australian reds that are available exclusively to Virgin Wines as part of the Black Pig Collection. A wine that is ready to go right away but for those who like their wines a little mellower it will cellar for another 5 years happily and soften as the months drift away. Everything you'd expect from a brooding, devilish red from Down Under with the legendary 'Steve Grimley' stamp.
