Shiraz 2022, McLaren Vale SA
Crunchy, rich red plums and raspberry fruit flavours with fine grippy tannins and lively balanced acid adding great depth of character.
NOSE - A deep, inky red with excellent colour density and a bright youthful rim, this wine shows real energy in the glass. Lifted aromas of cool menthol, fresh herbs and subtle spice gradually reveal dark chocolate, savoury nites and deeper fruit layers as it breathes. This is sophisticated wine perfect for matching with food.
PALATE - Medium-bodied, it features smooth, fine tannins that offer structure without hardness. Ripe red berries drive the palate, gaining richness with time. The finish is clean, fresh and lively, lifted by bright acidity. Still youthful, this wine promises further complexity with age.
NOTES - The 2022 McLaren Vale vintage benefited from stable spring conditions and a cool, dry ripening period that promoted slow, even fruit development. Although yields were slightly below average, fruit quality was outstanding, showing excellent balance, concentration and natural acidity. Reds, particularly Shiraz, Grenache and Cabernet Sauvignon, deliver deep colour, fine tannins and vibrant dark-fruit intensity, while whites retain freshness and aromatic lift. Overall, 2022 stands out as a refined, well-defined vintage with strong character and promising ageing potential. This red reminds us of a family meal around the table and wine poured with generosity, honesty and ease.
