I find it interesting that this is not available in Australia or New Zealand? Should be be insulted or honoured? Are out palates deemed too sophisticated or too unsophisticated? We can'r get the Mataro or Colombard either.

We can get it here. Internet.

Pretty colour. Bit sweet for my taste, but it was perfect paired with the spicy fish dish I'd cooked up.

What's the big deal about White Shiraz?

I mean, California produces Pink Chablis and Hardly Burgundy!

Doesn't Rosemount make "Orange Chardonnay"? (Now there's a concept!)

And another winery, Trevor Jones, makes wine called "Boots." I don't know about you (how could I?), but I know what my shoes have for aroma and I'm not drinking anything called "Boots."

White Shiraz=bad.

Trevor Jones = good. Those boots are made for drinkin'

Mark Sommelier will certainly have something to say about that.

Trevor's nickname is Boots. The picture of the boots makes its way on to most of the labels. He has another line of less expensive wines called "Boots". Look for the Trevor Jones bottlings . Look for his dry grown shiraz. The luxury cuvée called "Wild Witch" is worth looking for. It is not cheap, and not easily available.
