This is a vintage shaped expression of McLaren Vale. A warm, dry growing season delivered ripe fruit with measured pace, preserving freshness and clarity rather than excess. The result is perfume and poise rather than sheer power.

Blackberry, blueberry and dark plum rise first, followed by violet, cracked pepper and cocoa. The palate is plush yet composed, with fine chalky tannins, savoury olive notes and dark chocolate carried by bright natural acidity. Long, polished and calm in its confidence.

Consistently rated in the low to mid 90s, praised for perfume, restraint and silky structure. A modern McLaren Vale Shiraz where ripeness meets elegance.
