Medium bodied, with lots of chocolate and blackberry, sophisticated supple tannins supporting deep fruits and appealing savoury balance. Has enormous appeal now yet will age gracefully for 8-12 years.

Lovers of classic Vale shiraz will adore this! It’s big, rich & round (we’re salivating already and offers loads of inky goodness to get lost in. Plush, chewy berries with hints of peppery spice and leather float intriguingly across the palate. Plums, blueberries and juicy black cherries dominate the fruit spectrum in that inimitable Vale dark coffee-cake profile. It’ll get even more attractive in a few years, but I, for one, won’t be able to keep my hands off it.

Well, we’re surprised to see you here. That is, reading us babble on further about why this wine is so great. I mean.... look at that value? For a McLaren Vale shiraz with 96pts? From a bloody outstanding producer? We say, say no more!! But if you’re not convinced yet, it is: 12 days on skins plunging thrice daily for full-throttle texture and flavour (not to mention the colour and tannins!), 20 months in French oak with all parcels kept separate and only blended to the highest standard. The vibrant core of wild berries, rich, savoury dark chocolate, and cedar notes complement. Sounds pretty good to us, are you convinced yet?

It’s safe to say this wine is a ‘shoe-in’. Multiple vintages of this exact vino have rushed into our warehouse and zoomed straight back out and to your front door faster than you can say ‘shiraz blended with cab sav and a splash of cab franc’. At its core, we have all the plush dark berries, plums and chocolatey goodness that you’d expect from Mclaren Vale. But the blend of cabernets is what lifts this drop way above entry level, firm tannins and a liveliness on the back palate provide wonderful length and serious structure; perfect to pair with your good old fashioned Sunday roast lamb with all the trimmings.

Heirloom Vineyards was conceived in vintage 2000, when a young winemaking student caught the eye of a silly old wine judge. A love story ensued inspired by two vows: To preserve the best of tradition, the old world of wine and our unique old vineyards, and to champion the best clones of each variety, planted in the most appropriate sites, embracing the principles of organic and biodynamic farming.

Colour: Medium to deep red with crimson hues. Nose: red berries, nutmeg & touch of cinnamon, complimented with cedar oak. Palate: Generous spice carries through to the palate. Fine tannins and intense red berries enhanced with integrated oak, bright acidity and a long finish. Overall true to varietal. Best Drinking: great drinking from 2022. Beyond that it will age gracefully until at least 2030 and beyond. Food Match: superb with rich flavoursome dishes. With the wine’s savoury notes consider also medium flavour pairings. Winemaker’s Comments: A slightly cooler and wetter growing season a long and beneficial ripening season, requiring less ripeness to produce maximum flavour. Grapes from Willunga and Sellicks Hill areas of McLaren Vale on heavy clay-loam soils. Matured in American and French oak for 18 months

Amongst a few ripping McLaren Vale wines- many of them shiraz- we sat at the tasting bench in awe of this reserve parcel from Haselgrove. This is the kind of wine that you might take for granted amongst a deep sea of shiraz, but we're here to tell you that you should be doing anything but. This is excellent value, in fact Wine Buyer Pete exclaimed "This is a whole lot of wine for the price". A focused nose and palate of blue fruits mingling with chocolate and spiced fruit cake notes. The finish on this beauty is long, but the happy feeling you'll get from drinking a wine this good is certainly longer.
