A sacrifice that has given McLaren Vale one of its most enduring and beloved Shiraz labels. The 2022 vintage is 100% McLaren Vale Shiraz of genuine richness and balance — crimson-purple in colour, fragrant with dark plum, blackberry, boysenberry, black pepper, and a touch of liquorice, and opulent on the palate with ripe, velvety tannins and an impeccable balance of acidity, alcohol, and oak. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAppearance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBright medium purple with a subtle ruby halo — the vivid, concentrated colour of a McLaren Vale Shiraz of real depth and character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAroma\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLifted and fragrant — dark cherries, black plum, and a hint of Dutch liquorice lead an expressive and inviting bouquet, with boysenberry and subtle black pepper adding complexity and a distinctly McLaren Vale character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePalate\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRich and opulent — black plums, cherries, and blackberries are intertwined with integrated mocha, Dutch liquorice, and black pepper on a palate of genuine depth and generosity.
