The Shiraz grapes used for this fine red wine are handpicked from some of Mclaren Vales great vineyards all situated in the prestigious “dress circle” of the vale. Deep, brooding intense purple in color, the aromas of this wine are typical of the variety and the region. Bitter chocolate and thyme combine with French oak and liquorice to produce a complex and intriguing wine. The palate is tight and sinuous with unbelievable length and outstanding finish. This wine will cellar well for up to 25 years.
