Super Premium McLaren Vale Shiraz 2020
Old Vine Selection | French Oak Aged

This 2020 McLaren Vale Shiraz is a benchmark example of the region’s signature power, richness, and elegance. Sourced from low-yielding old-vine parcels across McLaren Vale’s most esteemed vineyards, the 2020 vintage delivered fruit of remarkable intensity and purity, perfectly captured in this beautifully crafted wine.

Deep crimson with a dark purple core, the nose is expressive and layered—blackberry, plum, and black cherry mingle with notes of liquorice, dark chocolate, espresso, and warm spice. Hints of dried herbs and fine French oak add nuance and depth.

The palate is full-bodied, plush, and impeccably structured, showcasing dense layers of ripe black fruit, mocha, and savoury spice supported by fine-grained tannins and vibrant natural acidity. Extended ageing in premium French oak imparts texture and complexity, without overwhelming the fruit’s natural power and clarity.

The finish is long, velvety, and refined, revealing subtle notes of cedar, cocoa, and spice that linger gracefully.

If you’re a fan of rich, toasty, oak-driven reds, you can confidently add a few extra points to the score — this is McLaren Vale Shiraz at its most indulgent and beautifully balanced.
