Certainly richer in style with firm clove and paperbark tannins providing ample framework, while raspberry tea and peppery spice bring lift through the finish. Nicely made. 93pt" (Katrina Butler, The Halliday Wine Companion). Having worked in McLaren Vale, owners Mark and Rebekah Shaw settled in Currency Creek in 2002.

But it’s definitely an ultra-velvety, mouthcoating, lipstaining, rich and powerful red that you need to approach carefully!
