Medium intensity ruby-red core with a bright crimson hue. Aromas of lifted red cherry and delicious varietal notes of turkish delight and ripe dried fig gained from the Tempranillo. The palate is medium bodied with a bright textural mid-palate possessing a firm grip, reminiscent of the varietal’s spanish roots. The finish is vibrant and bright-fruited with a length of lightly toasted cedar oak notes and savoury dried fruits. Ideal with spicy, rich food. Delightful with a chorizo and prawn paella and saucy tomato seafood dishes. Served lightly chilled in the warmer Spring and Summer months.

This wine is a true crowd-pleaser, bursting with aromas of dark berries and lifted notes of dried leafy herbs. Hints of toasted oak add a subtle layer of spice and cedar. The palate is rich and full-bodied, with generous dark fruit and a touch of choc-mint, all balanced by well-integrated oak and supported by firm, lingering tannins.

Every vintage, each wine parcel is allocated a batch code, separated from other batches and treated independently to ensure cleanliness and purity of winemaking.

The Block 5 sub-section of the Kidman vineyard sits at the northern end of the celebrated Coonawarra growing region. This part of the district ripens earlier than the south, making it very well suited to Shiraz. With its classic Terra Rossa over Limestone soils, the mature vines on this vineyard produce exceptional and highly sophisticated cool climate Shiraz, which is approachable in its youth but also eminently cellar-worthy.

The Winemakers range include limited release parcels from some of the top regions in Australia. This vintage showcases vibrant fruit vibrancy and refined structure, making it an elegant and approachable expression of McLaren Vale's signature GSM style.
