Samurai Shiraz 2022

Get to know: Free Run Juice Samurai Shiraz

A juicy, fruit-packed Australian red wine from the warm vineyards of South Australia.

Tasting Note

Free Run Juice Samurai Shiraz is a vibrant, medium-bodied red that champions pure, unadulterated fruit character. Crimson red in colour, it bursts with aromas of blackberry, black cherry, and ripe plum, lifted by a touch of spice and earthiness. On the palate, this Shiraz is all about juicy fruit – round, lush, and silky with soft tannins that make it wonderfully easy to drink. A whisper of smoky depth and subtle oak add just enough complexity without overshadowing the bright Shiraz fruit. It’s a modern take on an Aussie classic, made to be shared and enjoyed.

Top food pairings:

  • Lentil and mushroom stew
  • Sticky BBQ ribs or pulled jackfruit wraps
  • Nutty Cheddar or Manchego-style cheese
Kate Says

“I’m all for a Shiraz that delivers on fruit but doesn’t knock you out – and this one nails it. The free run juice gives it this really lush, silky feel. One of those reds that goes just as well with Friday night pizza as it does with a roast.”

Producer Info

Free Run Juice is part of the Yalumba Wine Company – Australia’s oldest family-owned winery. Their approach brings together a network of talented growers across South Australia, giving access to prime vineyard sites in regions like the Barossa, Riverland, and Adelaide Hills. This collaborative spirit, combined with minimal intervention winemaking, means their wines express fruit purity and a real sense of place. Samurai Shiraz is a great example – approachable, flavourful, and proudly South Australian.

How it’s made:

  • Varieties: 100% Shiraz
  • Harvested at optimal ripeness to capture fruit intensity

Why we love it:

This South Australian Shiraz is all about juicy, ripe fruit with a silky, easy-going style. It’s bold enough to stand up to smoky barbecue flavours, yet soft and approachable enough to enjoy on its own – a brilliant introduction to modern Aussie red wine.
