GRANGE SHIRAZ CHALLENGE

A celebration of the best Shiraz/Syrah from across Australia and beyond

A blind tasting in our ambient underground Cellars pits the controversial icon against 11 other premium Shiraz and Syrah from the New and Old World.


All wines are tasted in a blind format and participants are invited to vote for best in show on the night.
The tasting is followed by a light supper with a further 13th glass of another contender. To say the least, expect an unmatched Shiraz feast!


Can you pick the Grange amongst the likes of Wild Duck Creek, Peel Estate, Henschke, John Glaetzer, Pondalowie and more? 


Held one Friday per month throughout the year, there’s a date to suit everyone. This has to be one of Melbourne’s best wine nights!

Investment: $159 – includes supper


The Shiraz Challenge is also an ideal format for corporate events too - contact us today with your enquiry at events@armadalecellars.com.au

The Shiraz Challenge on July 25th was a very well executed event, hosted by owner Phil Hude, one of Melbourne’s, indeed Australia’s most energetic and endearing wine retailers. The twelve different reds represented many regions from cool to warm/hot climates, giving tasters a great perspective of the varying styles that this marvellous grape can produce, all of impressive quality in their own right. Identifying the Grange was not as easy as anticipated !! Run in the atmospheric cellar under the store, the background information given in the preamble was most informative, and delivered with Phil’s inimitable humour and personality. Highly recommended for both novices and the more experienced of wine lovers. A terrific night out !

Absolutely magic night of fun, laughter, and incredible wines! It’s not often you get to compare grange with other top wines on the same night, and to find new wines to add to your cellar that you’ve had the chance to taste. Loved the added challenge of trying to pick the grange and identify the various wine regions, climates and vintages. Highly recommended
