About the wine
McLaren Vale Shiraz at its finest
James-Paul reckons this stylish Shiraz represents winemaking 101! Sourcing pristine fruit from three iconic McLaren Vale sub-regions, fermenting and maturing separately and then blending at the last minute just prior to bottling.
The dark crimson-purple colour treads a fine line between being both elegant and bold. It shows the rich, dark, delicious fruits that McLaren Vale is famous for and the flavours linger soooo long! In short, enormously intriguing shiraz, showing the depth of McLaren ‘terroir’.
This wine has the yummy potential to cellar for 5+ years. Patience will be rewarded, if you can wait!
Best before

Serving advice
Allow it to breath. A big, bold, young wine like this McLaren Vale Shiraz might taste tough when freshly opened or acidic and will generally benefit from 'airing' or allowing the wine to 'breath'. No longer than an hour, any longer and you will lose some of the aromatics.
Food match
Hearty dishes, like my mum's slow cooked lamb roast.
Contains sulphites
