Nardone Baker Wines is proud to announce our flagship wine, The Wara Manta Reserve, has won Gold at this year's Decanter World Wine Awards in London. Judges were impressed by the oak/fruit balance and blessed the oak's slight ascendancy. Stores of The Wara Manta Reserve Shiraz 2002, McLaren Vale, are dwindling so ensure you snare a bottle or two today. Last year, this wine won Silver at the London International Wine Challenge.
