Description
6th generation ICONIC name from South Australia. This winery has a direct link to the 'father of the South Australian wine industry" how was one of the regions first settlers in 1850.
Deep, inky purple with a vibrant ruby rim, this premium McLaren Vale Shiraz offers an intense bouquet of dark fruits, including blackberry, plum, and black cherry, interwoven with hints of dark chocolate, vanilla, and exotic spices. Subtle notes of cedar, licorice, and a touch of eucalyptus add complexity and depth. Full-bodied and opulent, it displays a luscious core of ripe blackberries and juicy plums, complemented by layers of mocha, black pepper, and sweet spices. The palate is beautifully structured, with velvety tannins and well-integrated oak providing a balanced, seamless mouthfeel. The finish is long and persistent, with lingering notes of dark chocolate, spice, and a hint of smokiness, showcasing the quintessential characteristics of a premium McLaren Vale Shiraz – powerful yet elegant, with remarkable depth and complexity.
