This classic, full-throttle Aussie red wine is our all-time No.1 bestseller
The Black Stump has been a bestseller for decades – and no wonder. Think big, spicy Aussie red, then dial the flavour up a notch. The secret? It blends Australia’s national treasure, Shiraz, with little-known Durif, adding fabulous inky depth.
The Black Stump is a full-flavoured Aussie red like no other. Made for pouring into BIG glasses, it’s packed with ripe, velvety fruit and layered with warming spice.

It’s an inspired combination of Australia’s flagship grape, Shiraz, with the little-known Durif variety. Shiraz brings all the lush, spicy bramble fruit that Aussie wine fans adore. But Durif – an inky black grape that “takes no prisoners” (The Observer) – gives it unmatched richness and depth of flavour.
\n\n
The result? A powerhouse red that has been a No.1 bestseller for over two decades – picking up literally thousands of 5-star reviews along the way: “Simply one of the best dark reds I have ever had,” wrote one fan.
\n\n
So why the name? Winemaker David Joeky reckons this Aussie blockbuster is the best you’ll find ‘this side of the black stump’ – the mythical boundary at the edge of the known world. And after tasting it, we’re inclined to agree.

Velvety, voluptuous and irresistibly moreish, The Black Stump is a wonderfully rich, indulgent red. Serve with steak and kidney pie or a Sunday roast.
