Crafted at one of the districts oldest wineries and displaying elegant tannins, refined plum and dark cherry fruits, the Dual Citizen Shiraz – with fruit from Hilltops as well as Murrumbateman – is ineligible for election in the Canberra Wine Parliament. Unlike our pollies though the Dual Citizen Shiraz is aware of its origins and declares its multidistrict roots with pride. If granted a high court exemption, in twelve years time this wine may just be Prime Minister.
