Beneficio Cellar Reserve Shiraz 2009

The McLaren Vale is THE place to go in Oz for big, brooding Shiraz - Beneficio will quite literally blow you away with its depth of black fruit and incredible power.
Top-rated by the people whose opinion really matters - you, our customer.
Some wines are just made for showing off - a bottle of Beneficio will leave your mates utterly gob-smacked.

It's not often you can describe a wine as 'having the lot' but our Beneficio McLaren Vale Shiraz quite simply does. It is bursting with blackcurrant and damson luxuriance, with a spicy, perfumed finish that goes on until the end of time. It's a wine that pulls no punches and is as full bodied as it gets. A match for any grilled meats, especially charred lamb chops and an assortment of roasted veggies. A truly dazzling, vibrant Shiraz that'll leave you wanting more, more, more.

"To me, a truly great wine is more about the sizzle than the sausage. I grew up in the Barossa, so wine's pretty much part of your culture from day one. Given our type of business, the styles of wine we make and my individual personality, all these combine to drive us down the 'winemaking way of one'. It's easy to manipulate, but when you leave things alone they just represent what they are - the variety, origin and working patterns, stored in a bottle." - Steve Grimley
