About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of ShirazMcLaren Vale, AustraliaClassic McLaren Vale Shiraz in every sense. Laden with dark fruits, old spices and woody notes on the nose and backed up with thick liquorice, blackberry, plum and graphite-like characters on the palate. Striking fruit concentration paired with a bold and chewy, yet integrated tannin structure. Brutish in many respects but somehow manages to remain incredibly balanced. A wine to please even the most contankerous wine aficionado.

Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

Hand-picked and machine-harvested, crushed and destemmed, cultured yeast, open-fermented with heading down boards, one-third fermented in barrel, followed by 22 months in 50/50% French and American oak. Medium to full-bodied, initially supple before its tannins swing into action, but, having done so, don't throttle the blackberry, plum and licorice fruit. You can't help liking the wine, and loving its value for money.
