Tasting Notes:

Deep purple to maroon in colour. Wonderfully complex aromas with distinct fresh berries, chocolate, mocha and coffee grounds, that run seamlessly through the nose with a touch of fig and cedary oak woven in there also. The palate is voluptuous and mouth filling, the style is rich yet is smooth as silk. Blood plum and licorice are highlights while complexity comes in the form of aniseed, chocolate, mocha and ground coffee. The wine has an understated structure that is quite refined with dusty oak and tannins that build and give length staying with you long after the wine has gone.

Technical:

Sourced from select premium vineyards with varying ages. Each batch is treated differently to build complexity and all winemaking decisions were made at the time of harvest not predetermined to a recipe. Fermentation may be hot around 30 degrees or cool around 24 degrees, it may be in open top fermenters with piage by hand or with heading boards. Ferment may be warmed as it begins to cool or maceration on skins extended for up to 3 weeks. Wild ferments are encouraged although for parcels with higher alcohols cultured yeast is used to ensure complete fermentation. 25% of the total is fermented in barrel, giving more intense but softer rounder extraction of oak flavours and tannins. Before being put together the individual batches are matured for a minimum of 18 months in new and old French and American barrels.

Accolades & Awards:

94 Points Wine Showcase Magazine

"Bright, ripe attractive nose with a minty lift. The palate has mouth filling berry flavours and brimming over with generous , spicy taste."

Songlines Estates Basket Pressed McLaren Vale Shiraz 2015 is rated 4.3 out of 5 by 42.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Wkdmix from Best value Shiraz on the market!!! We did a blind tasting with Songlibes vs $50-$100 bottles and Dinglines won. It is very good wine at a very good price.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Andy Nick from Top drop My second purchase of the Songlines Shiraz again did not fail to disappoint. With strong oaks and tannins, combined with fruity aromas, it is well worth waiting for this wine to come into GWD’s stable. Even better if you can grab a dozen or two when they’re offered at a discounted price. Bring out a bottle (or two) when you have those special guests over for a hearty winter dinner party.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Piglets from Great wine and great value Have bought this gem several times and the latest vintage is as good if not even better than previous vintages. I'm going to put some down this year as I'm sure it will improve further.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Rob 72 from Great bouquet, taste and finish. This wine drinks very well now but will improve with 3-4 years further ageing. A wine well above average at a very competitive price.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Petsonvic from deep smooth wine Lives up to earlier vintages I have enjoyed. There is sediment at the end of the bottle though - not a problem if you are aware of it.

Rated 4 out of 5 by SongPress from Smooth, drinking well for a young wine Had a few bottles and everyone who has sampled had been very impressed. Had the traditional characteristics of a Shiraz and is pleasantly refined for the vintage

Rated 4 out of 5 by bf17 from Everything in balance Wonderful colour and well balanced flavour hits you and hangs on. It will clearly get better so I will be putting this away in cellar for a while.

Rated 3 out of 5 by pattie from a bit disappointing I did not enjoy this wine as much as most other shiraz I have purchased from GWD over the last few years

Rated 3 out of 5 by Luke W from Just a pup Pleasant easy drinking but needs time to develop. Not overally sure of its future but wouldn't write it off as I've tried these many times and some years take more time than others. Will try again in 12 months and see how it's evolving....

Rated 3 out of 5 by Jacko9 from Bit dissapointing Given experience with past vintages was surprised when the 2015 that I received was fairly heavily sedimented, Asked what effect this would have on collaring but have not rec'd a reply. Taste was still OK, but some effect of the sediment noticeable even when carefully decanting

Date published: 2017-07-20

Rated 1 out of 5 by John from Far Below Usual Standard Generally been a very drinkable and lovely wine. But this one was not. It will be a bit of a struggle to get through this dozen.
