Shiraz
Single Variety
McLaren Vale
At release, the wine is a deep purple with dark red at the rim.
The wine displays enticing layers of red plum, black cherry and mulberry fruit flavours and then mocha coffee and subtle vanilla and spice characters from oak influence.
The wine has a deep concentration of generous plum and dark cherry fruit flavours along with subtle floral violet characters and a smack of opulent vanilla and spice from oak maturation. This is a luscious wine with distinctive velvety tannins providing depth and grace to the structure.
The wine was matured in a combination of high-quality French and American oak barrels (20% new, balance 2 to 3 year old) for a period of 16 months before being bottled.
Overall, the season for McLaren Vale in the lead up to vintage saw warmer than average temperatures and average for rainfall, but the rain fell primarily early in the growing. There was mild weather through December and whilst January was slightly hotter, it was still below average. The temperatures in February were ideal for slow, even ripening, heralding vintage 2021 as one of the best of the century
Crafted for immediate enjoyment but will cellar over a long term under ideal conditions.
