Wine: Baileys 1920's Block Shiraz Grape: Shiraz Region: Glenrowan, North East Victoria, Australia Vintage: 1995 There are some fabulous shiraz wines being produced in Australia at present.

The best known and by far the most expensive is the Penfold's Grange.

However, it has now become too expensive for all but the most dedicated wine lovers.

At more modest prices are many truly excellent shiraz wines.

The Baileys 1920s Block Shiraz is made exclusively from fruit picked from vines planted in 1920, as a celebration of 50 years of winemaking tradition at Baileys.

The old vines produce only a few, small bunches of intensely flavoured fruit.

The fruit for the wine is hand-harvested.
