Engine Room Motif Label Shiraz Mataro Grenache 2014
About the wine
New label, same great wine.
- 2014 hit this vintage with some tough weather conditions including hailstorms, frost and record rainfall, despite all of this the vintage produced was well above-average quality showing great balance and depth.
- Rich red and bright ruby hues match the pronounced aromas of ripe red berry fruits and cherry combined with the subtle sense of roses to create a beautiful bouquet.
- Rich and juicy, the palate shows lovely upfront characters of ripe dark berries with just a hint of savoury, earthy spice, a charistmatic lick of aniseed and delightfully soft, fine grained tannins.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Hamish Maguire
- Hamish was born into a respected winemaking family and raised among the McLaren Vale vineyards. His passion for the industry isn’t just down to family ties though, vintages in traditional wineries in Europe sealed his grape-induced fate.
- Hamish's 'day job' is overseeing his successful family business — a much respected and awarded Mclaren Vale winery. But he's a visionary and a rebel at heart, so in 2012, he joined the Naked Wines family to make Angels his ‘passion’ wines — Engine Room.
- His Engine Room wines are a product of imagination and a willingness to be different. These skillful blends of traditional with ‘alternative’ varieties, coupled with Angel backing, gives Hamish a creative outlet from the typical winemaking of the region to create something new and exciting. And it's made him one of our most popular winemakers in the process!
