This is where it gets serious.

Sydney — it’s your turn.
Friday 15 August 2025
Venue? Still under wraps — but you can bet it’ll be somewhere brilliant.

Join The Wine Animal for the 2025 Shiraz Challenge, where 13 of Australia’s most iconic Shiraz and Syrah wines go head-to-head — 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

Dinner Included
While we’re still locking in the venue, you can expect the same high-quality food we’re known for — smart, generous, and perfectly matched to the wines.

Games & Prizes
Scorecards, surprises, and a bit of friendly competition.

Guest Appearance
One of the featured winemakers will be joining us on the night.

Grange Pours (Optional)
Tastings of Penfolds Grange 1992 & 1997 available by the glass.

Why This Event?

This isn’t your average tasting — it’s a full-sensory deep dive into Shiraz royalty.
Whether you’re sharpening your palate, celebrating with mates, or just chasing the best bottles in the country, this night delivers.

Fun, informative, unpretentious — and wines you’ll rarely see poured side-by-side.
