Deep garnet edge with a purple/black core. This is a blockbuster classic McLaren Vale Shiraz – It features blackberries, and some plum with complexity derived from notes of espresso, smoked meat, cassis and cedary oak a key note in its youth. Full bodied with big ripe fruit flavours accompanied by acid and tannins, which provides great concentration and balance. This wine should develop and evolve well but in its youth shows notes of white pepper, leather saddle, and smoked meats along with persistent oak which along with the tannin backbone ensures the finish is velvety smooth with enough grippiness that it stays with you and appears to go on and on.
The finest Shiraz parcels from McLaren Vale were selected for this epic wine. The soil is Bay of Biscay clay over limestone, which is generally considered tough growing conditions although when done correctly this type of soil can produce what is some of the very best Shiraz in the country. Hand picked, basket pressed, classically fermented with extended time on skins to draw out as much colour and fruit as humanly possible. The wine was aged in new American oak for an extended period prior to final blending and bottling with minimal filtration.
93 Point Rated Wine Showcase Magazine
"Great sweet and spicy oak aromas with a lovely menthol lift. Full bodied in the mouth, with incredible finesse in fruit flavour depth and length."
