Bremerton Old Adam Shiraz Posted by Andrew Barrow, 1:46pm 27/07/2007. We have been a bit perplexed of late regarding the sudden interest in the Bremerton Old Adam Shiraz. Normally such a flow of orders would be meeted with delight but the vast majority have come from Australia.
Not sure Mr C has plans for international outposts for Surf4Wine but at the moment shipment to the antipodes is prohibitively expensive.
But it was just a few moments ago I discovered the reason for the upsurge in orders for this wine.
A $38 BOTTLE of Shiraz made by a South Australian woman has been judged the equal of two of the country's finest reds, which sell for more than 12 times its price.
Langhorne Creek's Bremerton Wines 2004 Old Adam Shiraz, made by 34-year-old Rebecca Willson, has been awarded a lofty 97 points out of 100 by Australian wine guru James Halliday, who gave the same score to the 2002 vintages of Penfolds Grange and Henschke's Hill of Grace.

Many people will know that both Grange and Hill of Grace are Australia's icon wines commanding prices in excess of £100 or more. So for this wine, which we retail for £16.50 to be in such company is astounding.
We have limited stocks of the 2002 and will be quickly sourcing this acclaimed 2004 vintage!
