Under Wraps McLaren Vale Reserve Shiraz
Select parcels of premium McLaren Vale Shiraz were chosen from 4 different vineyards for this wine, each being crushed separately. Following extended barrel fermentation over 18 months, the four parcels were blended to create this superb wine.
Chapel Hill The Prophet McLaren Vale Shiraz
Aphelion The Tendance McLaren Vale Shiraz
Full of finesse and flavour. Fresh mulberry, dark cherry and violet aromas rise from the glass and flow through to the palate, where blue fruits dance with olive, coffee and wood spice flavours. Medium-bodied, balanced, with power to burn. New French oak used to mature 20 per cent of the wine, with the remainder aged in neutral French oak. Only 240 dozen produced. Unfined, unfiltered, vegan, low sulphur.
Maison Eros Mclaren Vale Shiraz
The brilliant 2020 Maison Eros McLaren Vale Shiraz is rich and full, showing intense plum and dark berries with elegant savoury earthy tannins that round out the mid palate. The wine finished with great balance and length. Characterised by a depth and intensity only achievable with old vine fruit. The subtle integrated oak and textural tannins will soften as the wine ages.
Wirra Wirra Organic Estate Tempranillo
Taylors Masterstroke Shiraz
Angove The Medhyk Old Vine Shiraz
Complex, dark fruited, rich and velvety. A genuine collectors item, this small-batch, old-vine shiraz has been very busy on the wine-show circuit but it's what's behind the gold medals that really gets us excited... The concentration of fruit is apparent from the moment your nose gets near the glass. Blackberries, pepper, star anise and raspberries are to be expected from McLaren Vale but the lifted nature of the aromatics is something only seen in the very top-shelf wines of the region. The palate can only really be described as an explosion of liquorice, dark plums and black cherries wrapped around a backbone of new and seasoned French oak. This will easily live in the cellar for another 10 years, 15 if you've got a reeeeeallly good cellar. But that's the beauty of 6 packs, 3 for now, 3 for 2035, easy!
Mitolo Jester Shiraz
Intense, textured and showing pure fruit flavours, Jester Shiraz is considered Mitolo's baby G.A.M Shiraz using the same barrels in which the G.A.M was previously aged in. The palate is full of bright, red berry flavours, a subtle herbal character and an overall savoury quality to the finish. Made to be upfront and approachable for early appreciation, the Jester Shiraz delivers excellent quality for the price.
Mollydooker The Boxer Shiraz
This alluring and unashamedly bold Shiraz has hints of spiced plums, blackberry jam and cherry all at the fore and finishes with coffee cream, licorice and vanilla. Full bodied with vibrant berry fruit characteristics, yet elegant with restrained tannins, resulting in a soft mouthfeel. This Boxer is sure to be a knockout!
Five Geese Jon's Block Reserve Shiraz
ColourVery attractive crimson black colour. DenseAromaVery lifted and perfumed, spicy, almost nutty fruit/ oak complexity. A touch of that peaty character which is so typical of the old vines in Block 9.PalateSoft, rich, flavoursome palate with lovely spice and pepper complexity lingering. Not sweet, more savoury and elegant in style. A great follow on from the 2010 Reserve Shiraz. This is an impressive example of old vine Blewitt Springs Shiraz.
