Very dark, vibrant, purple with a dense crimson hue. Pepper/spice on the nose with macerated berries and a hint of pink grapefruit. Plum pudding and Christmas spices. Rich and soft entry with fragrant red fruits, some fresh tarragon and clear cedar characters complemented by dark cacao. Juicy macerated blackberries, tempered with the soft idiosyncratic milky McLaren Vale Shiraz sweetness and roundness and spike of red citrus and cranberry notes. Lush mouth filling after palate with rolling soft,

The Curtis family traces its history back to 1499 (not a typo, 523 years ago!) when Paolo Curtis was appointed by Cardinal de Medici to administer Papal lands in the area around Cervaro. The family has been growing grapes and making wine in McLaren Vale since 1973, having come to Australia some years previously. The Pasha McLaren Vale Shiraz pays homage to the ways of the past. Bursting with ripe red berries, Aromas of coconut & hints of vanilla. Full bodied palate structure with a complex mix of flavours, ripe red berries, coconut, chocolate & spice. Great middle palate sweetness with well integrated oak characters. Long & almost chewy tannins with a well balanced finish.

The 2022 Estate Shiraz is hand crafted from grapes grown on blocks 1, 9 and 10 of the Lloyd Brothers McLaren Vale Estate. Each parcel was selectively picked and fermented in small open fermenters, then basket pressed to new and seasoned French oak. After 14 months the best barrels were selected to create the Estate Shiraz. This wine shows lovely rich, ripe, dark berry fruit on the palate with overtones of mocha, spice, black pepper and liquorice. Approachable in its youth this wine will happily age for 10+ years.
