Products of Laithwaites Wines:

The Black Stump Durif Shiraz 2006: Australia's most addictive velvety red returns, and the new 2006 vintage is delight more than ever. That's because extreme heat during the vintage slowed ripening, and enhanced flavour intensity.

Willy Willy Shiraz 2006: Australian Shiraz is just the ticket when it's as smooth, warming and utterly delicious as the 2006 vintage of Willy Willy, which benefits from the know-how of New South Wales's Rossetto family.
