We really enjoyed this selection. Which one was our favourite. Can’t really tell, as they were all really nice in their own way - and not being a total wine-connoisseur, I even going to attempt describing how they tasted - but I did really enjoy the smoothness of the Cellar Select 2019 Shiraz and the more intense fruitiness of the McGuigan Mastercraft 2020 Summer Shiraz. Oh, and yes, we did drink the Cellar Select 2019 Summer Shiraz, which was beautiful too.
