Tasting Notes:

Ink like black core with crimson red hues. Exhibits dark fruit aromas of blackberry and plum with a hint of molasses and spice. Luscious style with freshly cut fruit flavours of blood plum, blackcurrant and cherry. Complexity is derived from wellintegrated oak which provides a spicy kick whilst the fruit/acid/tannin balance is impeccable ensuring a smooth ride from start to finish.

Technical:

Fruit was sourced from select vineyards in the McLaren Vale region of South Australia from another incredible vintage. The different sites allowed us to pick the fruit over a 4-week period allowing each vineyard to develop differing characters to compliment each other and also allowed us at the winery to treat the parcels individually in small ferments with longer than usual skin contact, which is always ideal. The result is an outstanding wine with obvious time and care taken with it throughout the vinification process. This wine was fermented warm and received pump overs on a daily basis during fermentation. Aged in older second and third use oak to add another level of complexity without over powering the fruit.

Rated 4 out of 5 by SKean from Just simply a nice wine I find this to be a wonderful wine, the 1838 Shiraz is not a big and bold but its a strong sister. It has good fruit predominately plum good hints of chocolate and raspberrys, nice roundness of alcohol. It is slightly on the sweetside that's why I've given it 4 but should be 4.2⭐️stars but certainly not a bad one at all. I will drink this with friends over a meal or just to sip and enjoy at the end of the day. Very pleasurable and affordable.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Tim27 from Delicious red from South Australia This is the second vintage of 1838 reds I have purchased, no surprises - just a delicious, young McLaren vale red that could even do with a year in the bottle. Great drinking now, but I have put 4 away for 2018.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Jolt38 from Subtleties of flavor! I bought this a few weeks ago as a dozen. Initially the flavor seems lacking however with every glass your pallet becomes more appreciative of the subtle fruitiness.
