The Wine

Country of origin:

Australia

Region:

McLaren Vale

This is an epic bottle of McLaren Vale Shiraz that was blended up and bottled at the end of June, allowing the wine the time it needed to settle and meld together. It is a small batch release that is produced from a hand-selected set of the most luscious and expressive Shiraz barrels. Each one brings a little complexity and individuality to the finished wine which has an excellent balance between tighter graphite notes and lovely oaky opulence.

Winemaker:

Steve Grimley

Steve Grimley heads up the winemaking team at his small winery on Chalk Hill in the McLaren Vale. 25 years of working with him has added countless classics to our range. We have no intention of settling for all the wins we've had, we're going to continue to push the boundaries and bring you truly exceptional wines that always carry his signature drinkability.

"The palate is plush, full-bodied and beautifully balanced with dense black fruit and a touch of signature McLaren Vale dark chocolate. A velvety core is framed by ripe, grainy tannins and a seam of fresh acidity that carries impressive length." - Steve Grimley, Winemaker.
