Maxwell Silver Hammer Shiraz 2021 (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. The shiraz for Silver Hammer is sourced from numerous parcels on the Maxwell estate, offering a consistency of style and quality year on year.

McLaren Vale's 2021 vintage was high yielding of great quality. We believe that the quality levels were some of the best in twenty years. A mild winter and sunny conditions saw good bud-burst and flowering around October.

Two good rain events in late January and early February were enough to freshen the leaves prior to harvest.
