2021 Shiraz McLaren Vale – 93 Points Halliday Wine Companion.
Generous + classic.
A lovely intensity of rich, dark Shiraz flavours pair with elegant structure and plush tannins to lend this wine an air of easy drinkability. Bright fruits abound here – blackberries, cassis, and plums. Meandering throughout are floral notes of violets and lavender, mixing with delicate baking spice.

Wine Notes
A generously dense, nonetheless, balanced Shiraz with complex spice and floral flavours typical of the Blewitt Springs sub region. Gentle cap management throughout the winemaking process, along with a short time maturing in in seasoned French barriques ensures the wine is not over extracted, and that fruit and tannin are in perfect harmonious balance.
