Wine from Glenrowan comes out of Northeast Victoria, Australia, where it sits as a wine region.

Growers build the wines around Shiraz, filling out the blend with Muscat, Muscadelle, Fiano and Durif (Petite Sirah), plus two more.

The ground underneath is free-draining.

The climate is continental.

The vineyards themselves read as lakeside and valley floor.

Fortified wine, red wine and dry white wine is what the region is known for, and in the glass it shows rich and complex, extended oxidative aging, full-bodied and powerful and high fruit concentration and depth, plus two more.

Names to look for on a shelf: Baileys of Glenrowan and Morrisons of Glenrowan.

At the table these bottles work with cheeses, rich meats and desserts.

Serve at 12 to 18°C.

Rewards decades in the cellar.
