Traditionally vinifed from choice parcels of precious, dry grown vineyard fruit, treated to a no expenses spared vinification which includes a closely managed extraction to ensure that only the softest of tannins are extracted, before ageing in a selection of fine oak barrels. A generous red wine delivering rich flavours of cherries and plum, bramble and liquorice, a further component contributes intense ripe berry fruit characters, dark chocolates and spice over a bed of soft ripe tannins. A full bodied, sumptuous wine of intensity and finesse.
John McLaren's report on the rich and extensive districts south of Adelaide was completed three years after proclamation in 1839. His team came across a wide valley that members of the party named McLaren's Vale. Vines planted to unirrigated sites yield harvests of parched yet intensely flavoured grapes. Components are macerated, inoculated and treated to a traditional vinification, the cap is pumped over and plunged to infuse character into the wine. When the perfect balance between fruit, acid and tannins are achieved, the must is pressed and transferred into a selection of fine oak barrels for a course of maturation. Parcels meeting the most exacting standards are included into the final wine.
TASTING NOTES
Deep magenta colour with bright purple hues. A complex array of primary fruit aromas including ripe plum, blueberry, dried herbs and dark chocolate. These combine harmoniously with a scent of spicy, lifted oak. The palate is dense and creamy whilst managing to retain the vibrancy and integrity of dry grown Shiraz fruit. Blueberries and spice intermingle with chocolate to deliver upon the palate the promises of the bouquet. The restrained use of oak adds texture and sweetness while providing a firm structure of the finest mouth coating tannins. The wine grows as it breathes, developing characters of licorice, leather and tar, building complexity to achieve an experience of tremendous satisfaction.
