Deep magenta. Perfumed aromas of ripe strawberry, blackberry and mulberry are accented with notes of mocha chocolate and crystallised violet. The blackberry mid-palate is encased in textured, soft tannins that direct the sweet berry flavours into a long, mineral finish. A full-bodied wine that truly reflects the soil from which it comes and the “hands-off” approach taken with the winemaking.
“McLaren Vale Scarce Earth” is a regional initiative, launched in 2011 with wines from the 2009 vintage, involving the release of selected single block McLaren Vale Shiraz which highlight the distinctive sites of the region. After facing 3 separate tasting panels, 16 wines make up the
2013 selection - the grapes come from a single block, rather than single vineyard, the vines must be at least 10 years old & the winemaking style is one of minimal intervention to highlight the site expression.
The Davey Estate Vineyard is located in Whites Valley, at the southern end of the acclaimed McLaren Vale wine region in South Australia. Kym & John Davey planted & nurture their family owned &sustainably managed estate vineyard on land their Grandfather purchased in the 1950’s. Their goal is to produce high quality, single vineyard wines. Modern viticultural practices that minimise work to the soil & encourage a balanced environment are used. Superior fruit is grown by managing canopies, hand-pruning, precise deficit irrigation & integrated pest management.
97 Points James Halliday Wine Companion
Full crimson-purple; singularly full-boded and intense, the flavours pulsating throughout the long carry in the mouth; a very complex and distinguished wine that, despite all of its intensity, remains light-footed, inviting you back repeatedly to experience its many facets.
