Maxwell Ellen Street Shiraz 2022 (McLaren Vale)

The Maxwell winery is located on the south-facing slope of a solid limestone hill in the heart of McLaren Vale. This limestone provides excellent drainage, creating an environment perfect for shiraz vineyards of the highest quality.

Quintessentially McLaren Vale Shiraz, the Maxwell Ellen Street Shiraz 2021 is harvested from a small vineyard of craggy, gnarled Shiraz vines planted in 1953 on the soils of an old riverbed.

This block is situated between the winery and the road running along our southern boundary, known for over 100 years as Ellen Street.

Every year these vines bear some of the most concentrated fruit on the estate, however in very small quantities, with an average crop of less than 2 tonnes per acre.

18 months in old French and American oak, approximately 25% new barrels. Will mature for a further 10+ years if cellared correctly.
