Some very old vines are the source for this excellent McLaren Vale Shiraz. Hand-picked from the Old Block (planted in 1948), wild fermentation took place in the winery with no sulphur, tannin or acid additions. It saw French oak (35% new) for twelve months. Sit back and embrace this.
A little baking spice, a little Old Gold Cherry Ripe, a little cedar for good measure. Touches of Creme Brulee plus a flash of caramel sneak in too. Dark fruit, boyesberries and blueberries are plush and waltz about with ease. So smooth, so moreish. The reach of Moroccan and exotic spices goes deep leaving a persistent and generous finish that seemingly doesn't want to end. Excellent in every sense.
Due for release early 2023.
