Tasting Notes:

A complex, layered nose of lifted blueberry, blackberry and blood plum, with hints of dark chocolate, liquorice and warm spices, enhanced with subtle, fragrant oak. Rich yet elegant, with plush, succulent dark-berry fruit that fills the mouth without being heavy. The tannins are fine, long and velvety, framing the palate while providing texture and length.

Technical:

Mclaren Vale Shiraz is inherently suited to the Grey Label style, rich, plush and powerful, yet with an approachability that provides sheer enjoyment throughout its evolution over time in bottle.

Grey Label Shiraz was sourced from vineyards ranging in altitudes from about 50m near the coast to 200m where McLaren Vale merges with the Adelaide Hills, bringing complexity and layers of interest to the final wine. The region mostly spans two basins of ancient bedrock layered with sediments laid down by advances and retreats of the sea over the past 45 million years. Soil types vary from sands, yellow clays, and red and black loams through to ironstone.

Individual vineyard batches were fermented in small open-top fermenters for 5 to 10 days. Plunging and gentle irrigation were used to work the cap and optimise flavour, colour and tannin extraction, providing for concentration and depth of fruit flavour, while keeping tannins plush, hallmarks of the Grey Label style. Select batches completed fermentation in barrel, contributing mid-palate texture, while others finished fermentation on skins, providing structural length and focus.


Accolades & Awards:

95 Point Rated - Huon Hooke The Real Review

"The colour is highly saturated and dense, dark purple and impenetrable. The aromas are likewise dense and concentrated, very ripe and loaded with generous char-oak. In the mouth, it's super-concentrated and plush, very ripe but not overdone, the tannins super-abundant but supple and ripe. A massive wine with licorice, star anise, cola and espresso coffee flavours. It should richly reward long cellaring."


95 Point Rated - Ralph Kyte-Powell The Real Review

"Very youthful colour here, almost a blue-ish purple.The nose follows the cues in the colour—it's very concentrated, immature and a bit raw. Intense black fruit, Siena cake, anise and mocha smells lead into a full-bodied mouthful that's very dense, rich and complete, signing off with a charry lick of oak. It's a powerful wine, but its velvety texture and integrated tannins lift it above being just another 'big red'. It should evolve into something really memorable with long bottle age."


94 Point Rated - James Halliday Wine Companion

"Fashioned from 25 different parcels, traditional and Selective harvested, crushed/destemmed, open-fermented 7-16 days on skins, matured in 70/30% French/American oak (28% new). Deeply coloured; typical opulent Blass style, ripe blend of black fruits plus McLaren Vale's gift of dark chocolate. The tannins are rounded and sewn into the fabric of the palate."
