2023 Shiraz
McLaren Vale

TASTING NOTE

The 2023 McLaren Vale Shiraz captivates with a deep, inky crimson core and vibrant purple hues at the rim, signalling its youthful vibrancy and intensity. The aromatics are inviting and layered, featuring ripe blackberry, dark cherry, and plum, complemented by delicate violet florals, a hint of black pepper, and subtle oak spice.

On the palate, the wine is generous, structured, and elegantly balanced, with concentrated dark fruits, fine-grained tannins, and bright, integrated acidity. Nuances of dark chocolate, liquorice, and gentle spice add complexity, while the silky, flowing texture carries through to a long, expressive finish, perfectly reflecting McLaren Vale’s signature Shiraz style.
