The Smidge "The Ging" Shiraz 2018 from McLaren Vale is a wine that embodies the bold and robust characteristics of the region. Upon pouring, it reveals a deep ruby red color with a hint of purple. The nose is immediately greeted with intense aromas of ripe blackberries, plums, and a touch of spicy oak. On the palate, this full-bodied Shiraz offers a rich and velvety texture, with flavors of dark cherries, blackcurrants, and a hint of dark chocolate. The tannins are well-integrated, providing a smooth and lingering finish. This vintage from Smidge Wines showcases the excellent quality of McLaren Vale's terroir, with its warm climate and ancient soils. A must-try for Shiraz lovers, this wine will continue to develop and evolve with age. Pair it with a juicy steak or hearty stew for a truly indulgent experience.

Dense midnight black core with a deep dark red black tinged hue. Nosing offers up lifted aromatics of dark plum, black cherry and liquorice with some vanillin cedar, smoked meat and peppered clove notes also evident. Mid weighted generous dark plum, black cherry and liquorice fruits carry plenty of flesh across the palate. Scorched earth, clove and peppered meat elements lie underneath. Nicely integrated fine grained tannins concluding ripe and savoury. Drink over the next 4-5 years. Alc. 14%
