Description
Sourced from vines in excess of 30 years of age, the White Label Shiraz is a real powerhouse example of the fine Shiraz for which the McLaren Vale is so renowned. This will have the velvety texture and dense black fruit that define the region, accented with smoke, leather, coffee and spice notes. Versatile, concentrated and complex, this will be an exciting addition to your table, especially alongside grilled lamb or ribs.

Tasting Notes
From the impressive 2019 vintage, this is sourced largely from an array of parcels from the estate's vineyards around the winery - Ironstone, Katunga, Oakley, Bullrush, Bellevue and Johnston Prolific. It sees a mix of American and French oak, 18% new. Bold colours, bold flavours. No shrinking violet this, although there are notes of violets in the aroma, plus dark chocolate, black fruits, vanilla beans, mocha and more. Spices, including a whiff of pepper. A lovely plushness that this region does so well. There are lots of tannins here, slightly grainy plus excellent oak integration, good balance and a refreshing flick of acidity. This screams McLaren Vale. And did I mention stunning value? Drink: 2021-2029. Score - 93. (Ken Gargett, winepilot.com, June 2021)
