Wine-making for Lou Miranda has always been a passion that is reflected in his love of family, fine wines & cuisine. This is coupled with a dedication to excellence which is reflected in three generations of Miranda. I am proud to introduce the Golden Lion range. The Golden Lion is an ode to the Autumn vine, shedding their golden leaves in preparation for a bountiful Spring.

Colour: Inky black cherry, with vibrant hues of burgundy red
Aroma: Lifted dark cherry, cherry Chinotto (Cola), touch of vanilla, caramel, toffee. Spicy oak and brown spice aromas.
Palate: Big, rich, plush full flavoured, round fruit sweet mid palate. Characters reminiscent of Panettone; dried sultanas and peel with hints of all spice. Finishes with pleasant powdery tannins, giving length and balancing the sweet mid palate.
Wine: The 2018 vintage was hot through January and February, with March and April offering perfect ripening conditions. This lead to full and balanced maturity offering richness in the resulting wines. This wine was fermented in open fermenters with moderate American oak influence. The Golden Lion Reserve is plush with length, mid palate sweetness from the fruit adding structure and texture to this delicious wine.
This 2018 Golden Lion Reserve Shiraz can be paired with a beautiful cut of beef – Wagyu, rib eye – cooked over hot charcoal. Alternatively it can be drunk on any occasion and with correct cellaring can be enjoyed for many years – Cellar for 15 years or more.
