‘95 points. "2021 was a superb vintage in McLaren Vale, especially for Shiraz. This wine confirms that and provides some truly brilliant value, as well. This is a biodynamic, single vineyard wine which spent twenty months in French oak, 20% of which was new. An opaque maroon, this is a concentrated, powerful and dense wine with a lifted nose. A big, bold and balanced McLaren Vale Shiraz, but one exhibiting freshness and energy. There are notes of chocolate, plums, black fruits, cassis and cigar boxes with good early complexity evident. The wine maintains its intensity throughout the length, which is also impressive, supported by sleek tannins. A really good McLaren Vale Shiraz, which will provide pleasure for at least ten to twelve years. Not many better value Shiraz on offer from anywhere. Drink 2024-2036."

2021 was one of those dream vintages that don’t come along every year; cool, refreshing nights and dreamy, sun-kissed days without any extended stretches of intense heat. After a warmer than usual November, there were only four days above 40 degrees. It was mainly dry throughout the ripening season with the odd spattering of just enough rain to keep the grapes beautifully plump, juicy and full of bright fruit flavours and time to dry out in between so disease pressure was low.
The wine is a deep crimson red with purple hues. On the nose, notes of cinnamon are supported by ripe mulberries and stewed plums. The palate is full-bodied with rich, concentrated fruit flavours paired with notes of plums and blackcurrant.
The Shiraz pairs well alongside foods such as beef or a dish with peppery sauce.
