This is where it gets serious.
Join The Wine Animal for the 2025 Shiraz Challenge, kicking off in Adelaide with 13 of Australia’s most iconic Shiraz and Syrah wines — poured semi-blind, scored out of 20, and ranked by you.
The format?
You’ll know the lineup. You won’t know the order.
Every pour is a test of your palate and a celebration of Australia’s most powerful grape.
What’s Included
13 exceptional wines, featuring:
- Penfolds St Henri
- Wynns Michael
- Rockford Basket Press
- Standish Schubert Theorem
- Sami-Odi Little Wine
- Swinney Farvie Syrah
- Yarra Yering Underhill
- Syrahmi La La
- Best’s Bin 0
- Mount Pleasant 1880 Vines
- Clonakilla SV
- Henschke
- Plus a cheeky Wine Animal wild card
4-Course Matched Dinner – Expect bold Vietnamese flavours with a refined edge: think oysters with nuoc cham, prawn and herb dishes, elevated chicken with spice and crunch, plus a perfectly paired dessert to finish.
Games & Prizes – Scorecards, surprises, and a touch of friendly competition
Guest Appearance – One of the featured winemakers will be in the room
Grange Pours – Optional tastings of Penfolds Grange 1992 & 1997 available on the night
Why This Event?
This isn’t your average tasting — it’s a full-sensory deep dive into Shiraz royalty. Whether you're here to sharpen your palate, celebrate with friends, or just get around some of the best bottles in the country, this night delivers.
It’s fun, informative, and totally unpretentious — with wines that rarely pour side-by-side, and a few twists to keep things interesting.
