About the wine
Some of McLaren Vale's finest Shiraz!
James-Paul Marin’s Reserve McLaren Vale Shiraz comes from iconic 74-year-old McLaren Vale vines. The prized fruit is so good it’s fought over by the districts winemakers each year!
No expense has been spared nor any short cut taken in making this wine. James held back the very best Shiraz and aged it for a further 12 months to create this Reserve label release.
This top shelf wonder is in the super league. A bold and generous Shiraz that will set tongues wagging at any dinner party and an absolute bargain for Angels!
Best before
Having been aged for 24 months this wine may be enjoyed now, however it will confidently cellar for 8-12 years.
Serving advice
Feel free to aerate it, or just give it a good splash as you pour. If it has been cellared (>3 years), it is best to decant due to the wine undergoing minimal filtration. Sediment is expected.
Food match
As we are talking about a full-bodied red, and big bold flavours, the wine will do well with bold dishes such as Pork Shoulder from the slow cooker with some fennel.
