91 POINTS: The Real Review (Huon Hooke)
"Superbly fruited and inviting, the wine shows black/blueberry, violet, toasty oak and dark cocoa aromas on the nose, leading to a sumptuous palate offering terrific weight and velvety texture. Mouth filling and soothing with a prolonged delicious finish.
- Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
The beautiful region of McLaren Vale is bounded by the Gulf to the West and the various ranges to the East and North. Geologically one of the most diverse regions on earth, it has long been the home to some of Australia’s finest expressions of Shiraz. Our fruit comes from the Moray Park vineyard in the McLaren Flat sub-region. Low yielding and ultra-intense, we handle the fruit gently to capture the delicious berry fruit character, overlaid with subtle wood-spice.
ABV: 14.5%
