About the wine
Impressive McLaren Vale Shiraz from a superb vintage
- This ex-Wirra Wirra chief winemaker has a big network of top grape growers, so he gets the best fruit for this premium wine! He's blended the grape 'parcels' together after the winemaking process to create the perfect McLaren Shiraz.
- Abundance is a juicy, flavoursome Shiraz and a true reflection of the Vale. It’s bursting with red fruit flavours and dark chocolate hints that love to hang around each mouthful.
- The 2017 vintage is exceptional - Ben thinks it’s one of the best in the last 20 years and he should know! Quality McLaren Vale Shiraz like this offers you so much bang for your buck.
Best before
7-10 years.
Serving advice
It doesn't necessarily need to be decanted, but it will reward you if you open it and give it a few hours to breathe before you drink it.
Food match
There's nothing like a chargrilled scotch fillet or T-bone to pair with a juicy Shiraz like this. Ben's recently splashed out on a smoker and recommends preparing your meat that way if you can and enjoying it with the Abundance!
