This Mclaren Vale shiraz is deeply coloured with bright berry fruit and a touch of spicy oak from barrel maturation. The palate is dominated by ripe berry fruits with soft complex tannins on the finish.
Winemaker Brian Light has been named Australasian Winemaker of the year and Bushing King not once, but twice, making him one of McLaren Vale's most recognized winemakers. At Sylvan Springs their belief is good wine is more than just a drink… it's an experience that should be enjoyed, so quite simply, they have done all the "Hard Yards" out in the vineyard so that you can sit back and experience this great drop! Enjoy
