Tasting Notes:

Opaque purple to black in colour. Powerful and highly aromatic, fresh plum and blackberry fruit with obvious American oak character with spice and white pepper. Big bold and lively, huge mouth filling palate with perfect acid balance and American oak overtones which drive the palate and will ensure a very long life. The tannins, fruit, oak and acid level provide a wine that is monstrous and perfectly balanced – this is a wine not for the faint hearted.

Technical:

Sourced from a small vineyard from a block aged 60 years plus. Small bunches ensured fruit fruity and intensity, which is a key requirement for this wine. The fruit is picked and crushed into old vats where fermentation began via the addition of wild yeasts found on grape skins. Careful extraction and a short post ferment maceration is followed by basket pressing. The wine under went malolactic fermentation in brand new American oak and then was aged in the same oak with some skins added back to add further character and ensure the fruit flavour was as intense as possible due to maturation in brand new oak for a 12 month period. Bottled with minimal filtration or fining this is hedonists delight.

The Grail Of Lisa McLaren Vale Old Vines Shiraz 2016 is rated 4.6 out of 5 by 20.

Rated 5 out of 5 by SallyYP from Sitting in our Cellar waiting to age a bit. The cellaring is no reflection on the taste. We have so many choices from GWD that we chose to let one of our faves The Grail of Lisa just sit and wait a while. It was our choice of red for our wedding 2 years ago, and very popular with our guests. My husband can't wait to open the second bottle !!! Yes he had a sneaky taste of the first and said it didn't disappoint !!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Senior1 from Thank the family! I originally bought previous vintages because it is my daughter in law's name. Very glad I did and have bought subsequent vintages - quite full bodied but approachable and benefits from a year or two in the cellar so make sure you buy enough to do this!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Redwinelover from Delicious McLaren Vale Shiraz An excellent wine for the price (25% off sale). Packs a punch without being too unbalanced. Others thought it was a $50 bottle!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Ianp from Pleasant surprise! Bought this to make up a dozen based on the region and the reviews. Had it after a wine I rated really highly and it blew that wine away. It has all the McLaren Vale character that I find iconic and great to drink. I can't describe them individually, that's what experts are for, but I will be buying more. It is a fantastic drop!!
