Shiraz with Stephen Pannell


Stephen had a surprise in store today.  In what he described as a “daunting task” Stephen was asked to talk about Shiraz – Australia’s most widely planted and internationally important grape variety.  Did you know that we produce more than 400,000,000 bottles every year!  That’s a lot of people out there enjoying our favourite red varietal.
