Born of one of the most ancient and geologically diverse wine regions in the world, McLaren Vale, this wine is made from Australia’s most ubiquitous grape – Shiraz. With the aim that this Shiraz reflects our view of the region, we combine fruit from a Blewitt Springs deep sandy vineyard, and a younger more structured and fragrant parcel from the shallow old bedrock of our own Onkaparinga Rocks vineyard in the hope of a more modern, slender and youthful expression.
This is our WOW wine at the moment. A modern style shiraz showing well integrated oak, fine grained tannins and great length of flavour from the first sip and continues to the back-palate.
Try with spicy Catalan Fish Stew with grilled rye and aioli.
An exercise in slender power, bringing early picked McLaren Vale Shiraz characters exhibited by cool blue and red fruit with layers of coal dust and earth to entice, supported by a gentle oak creaminess.
The palate exhibits a deep fruit weight kept bright, nervy, and fleshy and filed down nicely by a fine and mineral tannin line.
