About the winery · Layer Cake Wines ›
Layer Cake is a globally sourced wine brand that started with Shiraz from South Australia. The winery says it works directly with farmers and sources fruit from layered vineyard soils around the world. Its wines are handpicked, separated, fermented with care, and aged in French oak. The Shiraz remains tied to McLaren Vale and Barossa Valley, two historic South Australian regions known for full, richly flavored Shiraz.
