BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Infamous Western Australian bushranger Moondyne Joe was apprehended at the Houghton winery’s cellars in 1869. Cutting a bizarre figure in his carefully-planned outfit of a wheat sack, with barrels tied front and back to collect wine, sheepskin-covered boots to hide his tracks and a set of skeleton keys in a bag around his neck.
The serial jail breaker had been on the run for almost two years. Moondyne’s thirst was to be his final undoing.

TASTING NOTES
Brilliant, ruby red with a garnet hue, The Bandit Shiraz Tempranillo has aromas of ripe cherries and Satsuma citrus, floral violet notes and hints of nutmeg and cinnamon spice.
Structured soft and lively the palate displays fresh plum, cherry and mulberry fruit, the savoury tannins combine with cinnamon and clove oak derived spice to give a long and lingering finish.

FOOD SUGGESTION
Enjoy with beef fillet with tomato and wild-mushroom sauce or gourmet Greek lamb pizza.
