Battle of Bosworth Puritan Shiraz 2024 is an organic, preservative-free McLaren Vale red wine showcasing vibrant fruit purity and exceptional drinkability from certified organic vineyards.

Tasting Notes

Appearance

Luminescent purple hues with brilliant clarity reflect the wine's youth and vitality, displaying the vibrant character typical of McLaren Vale Shiraz at its freshest.

Aroma

A complex and inviting nose reveals violets and lavender alongside a plethora of red and blue fruits—boysenberry, blackberry and blueberry—with subtle hints of sea spray adding coastal freshness to this expressive aromatic profile.

Palate

Medium-bodied with beautifully structured tannins, the palate flows with soft, supple fruit flavours that mirror the nose. Red and blue fruit characters are complemented by floral notes, creating a long, flowing finish. Made without oak influence, Puritan celebrates pure fruit expression and is crafted to be enjoyed young and fresh.

Pairs With

Puritan Shiraz pairs beautifully with grilled lamb chops with rosemary, beef burgers with caramelised onions, mushroom risotto, or aged cheddar and charcuterie boards, making it an ideal choice for casual dining and relaxed entertaining.

Produced from certified organic vineyards across Grange, Edgehill, Dentons, Braden's, Chanticleer and Winery blocks, this vegan-friendly wine represents Battle of Bosworth's commitment to working with nature. The 2024 vintage benefited from a warm, dry March that delivered optimal ripening conditions, resulting in flavour-ripe fruit at 14.5% alcohol. Bottled in July 2024 without preservatives or oak maturation, Puritan embodies the philosophy that great McLaren Vale Shiraz speaks for itself.

Vintage Conditions

Initially 2024 was a typical warm, dry season then became wet and windy as sub-tropical weather systems pushed south in December and January before returning to a warm and dry season. It was colder than average from budburst to flowering, then windy and cold during flowering which extended this phase of grape development. We had a wet and windy December. We then had a turnaround, with a dry end of season—a few hot days in early February and then March was terrific for ripening wine grapes; warm temperatures during the day and cooler temperatures at night.

Winemaking Notes

At the risk of being accused of being lazy when it comes to writing tasting notes, here goes: This is a quote taken from the very first tasting note for the Puritan, written way back in 2010, from Joch Bosworth, grower and maker: "It was the style of the wine that came first, for me, and the preservative-free aspect came second," Joch said: 'The important thing is it's a good McLaren Vale shiraz," he said. "Everything else follows after that." So, same as it ever was! We pick Shiraz from various blocks when they are flavour and sugar ripe and crush and ferment them in small open vessels. Once through ferment they go into tanks where we wait for the various components to go through 'malo' (malolactic fermentation) before bottling. Puritan spends no time in oak whatsoever.
