Indulge in the richness of McLaren Vale Shiraz, a wine that radiates elegance and balance. Its vibrant, rich purple hue hints at the depth within. The nose bursts with aromas of dark plum, ripe cherries, and fresh raspberry, complemented by subtle spice and vanillin oak undertones.

On the palate, silky and succulent fruit flavors of blueberry and dark plum take center stage, seamlessly intertwined with notes of spice and a touch of vanilla. The deft use of American oak enhances its structure, while soft tannins and a lush mouthfeel lead to a delightfully drinkable finish.

This Shiraz is crafted from meticulously selected grapes sourced across McLaren Vale, from Blewitt Springs to Sellicks Hill, each vineyard contributing unique complexity and character. The 2024 vintage showcases exceptional quality despite challenging conditions, yielding a wine of vibrant fruit expression and refinement.

Fermented in historic 70-year-old concrete vats with wild yeasts and aged for 9 months in American oak, this wine truly reflects the rich heritage and diversity of McLaren Vale.
