In 2006, six Majestic staff visited Mount Langi where each was challenged with blending their own wine from cask, and as a bit of fun they had a competition to find the best blend. After many hours tasting in the cellar and laboratory, the blend made by Gavin Peterson was adjudged the winner. The winemaking team were so impressed with the result that they decided to produce a limited edition of 600 cases of this wine exclusively for Majestic. This cool climate Shiraz has a fine tight pepper character with dense blueberry and blackberry fruit and lingering spice characters.

"I was lucky enough to visit the Mount Langi winery with five colleagues, where we were allowed to try our hand blending parcels of Shiraz from the famous Cliff Edge vineyard. As ever with Majestic staff, things got competitive, but I came out on top with the best blend! Beginner's luck maybe, but the winery were so impressed they actually offered to bottle the wine... and here it is. Beat the Peterson family stampede to buy this wine - trust me, it's brilliant!"
