Tasting Notes

From a rare vineyard site just two kilometres from the Gulf St Vincent, this premium McLaren Vale Shiraz captures the very best expression of the region. Dark, ripe berry fruits of blackberry and plum are layered with subtle spice, cocoa, and a hint of graphite, supported by fine, velvety tannins and a persistent, structured finish. 

The wine is concentrated and complex yet balanced, showing both power and elegance, reflecting careful selection of the region’s finest parcels. With depth, precision, and a clear sense of place, it is a wine designed to age gracefully while offering immediate drinking appeal for those seeking one of McLaren Vale’s most compelling Shiraz expressions.

Critic Scores

The wine offers power and opulence, with dark-fruit richness, vanilla, star anise, smoked meat, and cedar on the nose. It's weighty and deeply flavoured with outstanding depth and persistence, wonderfully framed by velvety texture and loads of silky tannins, finishing impressively long and gratifying.

Deep opaque crimson-black with immense concentration and density. Powerful and layered, revealing blackberry compote, dark plum and black cherry with notes of mocha, baking spice and fine cedar oak. Subtle hints of liquorice, graphite and dark chocolate add depth and complexity. Full-bodied and commanding, delivering rich black fruit supported by firm, structured tannins and balanced acidity. Layers of spice, cocoa and savoury oak unfold through the mid-palate, leading to an exceptionally long, concentrated finish. A bold and structured McLaren Vale Shiraz with impressive depth and ageing potential. A commanding flagship expression showing power, polish and precision.

This excellent season has been captured quite beautifully in this rich and opulent shiraz from McLaren Vale. The ripe, plummy blackberry nuances of the variety burst out of the glass, with a lift of slightly savory spices and dried herbs providing a nice complementary character. The palate is rich, almost unctuous, with dense, layered fruit flavors. Lots of dark, chocolatey fruit characters and plenty of infused oak and firmish tannins. A wine of great concentration and depth that will certainly handle extended cellaring.
Score: 96/100 Cellar: 18 years

South Australia

If you like Australian wine, then you probably like South Australia wine. The rich reds produced there put Australia on the wine-making map of the world. With over 40% of the countries vineyards, South Australia can rightfully call itself the wine state.

Wines are produced in several regions throughout the state, though many are naturally grouped together, like Barossa and Eden Valleys, only 15 minutes apart. They include such regions as Barossa Valley, Clare Valley, Eden Valley, Coonawarra, Adelaide Hills, Kangaroo Island, Langhorne Creek, The Limestone Coast, McLaren Vale and Wrattonbully to name but a few!

Barossa Valley boasts some of the oldest vines in Australia dating back to 1843 and produces some of the world's finest Shiraz, whilst the 'terra rossa' soils of Coonawarra is most suited to producing outstanding Cabernet Sauvignons. If you're a fan of Riesling, Clare Valley is a great place to explore and for a Maritime climate not dissimilar to parts of the Italian coastline, seek out the wines from McLaren Vale.
