Grounded Cru McLaren Vale Shiraz Small Batch 2018
About the wine
Mesmerising "McLaren Vale in a glass" Shiraz
-
This wonderful example of a McLaren Vale Shiraz is the lovechild of seven different vineyards and shows off the range and diversity of the region.
-
Deep, dark and bursting with fruit flavours, you’ll be mesmerised by intense blackberries, currants and spices with a hint of vanilla. It’ll tick plenty of boxes for the Shiraz lovers.
- This is your one and only chance to try a premium wine we wouldn’t have got hold of under normal circumstances. Drink now or cellar for up to 15 years, but don’t hang about!
Best before
In suitable cellaring conditions our Shiraz will reward medium term cellaring for up to 15 years - drink now to 2035.
Serving advice
Open and let breathe for 30 minutes - ideally decant and let the wine relax....
Food match
Our Shiraz pairs beautifully with Italian foods. Try wood fired pork and fennel sausage pizza.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Geoff Thompson
The first winemaker in his family, Geoff got to grips with grapes in 2002 and left a promising career in photographic science to do something he was passionate about. Hard work and enviable talent saw him work his way up the wine-stained ladder to Senior Winemaker at the Tahbilk Group in Victoria, in charge of more than a million cases a year!
Building a reputation as a master blender, Geoff won a ton of gold medals and trophies for his wines - and developed an itch to branch out on his own, back in his McLaren Vale homeland. Angels helped him scratch it in 2013 when a phone call in a car park kicked off his dream to create wines under his own label for them!
With his winemaking wizardry and access to some of the best grapes in the country, Geoff has been wowing Angels with his sensational South Australian wines ever since. He’s caught the eye of the critics too. In 2022, his winery was awarded 4.5 stars in the iconic Halliday wine companion.
