About the wine
A regional Shiraz of utmost style and elegance!
- Sourcing pristine fruit from three iconic McLaren Vale sub-regions, JP fermented and matured each separately and blended at the last minute to create an outstanding and balanced wine.
- This dark crimson-purple gem treads a fine line between being elegant and bold. It shows off the rich, dark fruits that McLaren Vale is so famous for.
- In short, an enormously intriguing Shiraz, showing the depth of the local ‘terroir’. Go on! Add one to your basket!
Best before
The wine finds it's legs after 6 months of maturation. With 8-12 months of bottle age, this wine will come into its own with its slightly higher acidity. This wine has the potential to cellar for 5-8 years. Patience will be rewarded!
Serving advice
Allow it to breath. A big, bold, young wine like this McLaren Vale Shiraz might taste tough when freshly opened or acidic and will generally benefit from 'airing' or allowing the wine to 'breath'. No longer than an hour, any longer and you will lose some of the aromatics. A little surprising but a wine like this when young might taste better after a day of being open. Why not give it a try!
Food match
The refined tannin structure and higher acidity gives it great length, balance and persistence in flavour to compliment hearty dishes, like my mum's slow cooked lamb roast.
