Dry, Full Bodied style of ShirazMcLaren Vale, AustraliaThe flagship wine and best of vintage selected parcel from Chapel Hill. The Vicar is selected annually from the most outstanding vineyard parcels of McLaren Vale Shiraz. Powerful and graceful, it speaks as the epitome of this region's winemaking capability. The Vicar 2011 Shiraz displays charismatic layers of blueberry, roasted fennel seeds and cured meats, which are seamlessly interwoven into the firm, but poised, savoury texture. The synergistic balance of the cascading layers of varietal flavour, palate weight, tannin and acidity will ensure that the wine will develop further complexity over the next 15 to 20 years.

Dense, deep purple; from the best blocks and vineyards of the vintage, the source from two Inkwell Vineyard blocks, and one Trembath Vineyard. This is the fullest-bodied Chapel Hill '11 Shiraz, achieving its power with less obvious effort, the black fruit, savoury chocolate, oak and tannin contributions all in sync.
