Campbells The Empire Tawny 750mL is a distinguished example of classic fortified Shiraz from the renowned Rutherglen region of Australia. This entry-level tawny captivates with its deep brick red colour and a harmonious bouquet of ripe, spicy Shiraz fruit and rich berry aromas, layered with complex oak nuances.
