Chapel Hill The Vinedresser is a true to form McLaren Vale Shiraz. With hints of blueberry and spice and a long, silky finish.

Chapel Hill's Michael Fragos loves using The Parson Shiraz to showcase McLarenVale's diversity and varietal character. The Shallow soils over livestone in maritime influenced vineyards between McLaren Vale and Masline Beach and also around Bowering Hill, provide explosive blueberries and liquorice with finesse and a wonderfully framing tannin structure. Up in the foothills of the Mount Lofty ranges, a Kangarilla vineyard offers Indian spice complexities that many higher priced wines would simply love to have. The added length and savoury tannins of this component and the use of some French oak result in a beguiling final release that is extraordinary.

The Nugan family is dedicated to showcasing the best vareitals from our finest growing regions. This McLaren Vale Shiraz is no exception, it is rich and full bodied, bursting with juicy plums, chocolate and a hint of black pepper. Enjoy with roast beef or kangaroo.

The James Haselgrove Futures Shiraz was first released in 1981 and its been impressing ever since. In the glass: Deep, dark red. On the nose: Lovely plum, beetroot, briar, herb and spice aromas. On the palate: Plummy and rich with a deep core of dark savoury fruit, oyster shell minerality, fine yet intense tannins, stalky energy and spicy oak. Terrifically structured and beautifully drinkable.

The fruit used to produce Mitolo Savitar Shiraz was sourced from bountiful vineyards in southern McLaren Vale. The grapes underwent fermentation on their skins for a fortnight, which was followed by pressing. The resulting dry red wine displays a deep garnet red colour. The perfumed bouquet exudes attractive aromas of blackberry bramble, tar and fresh mint, coupled with floral hints and powerful vanillin oak characters. These fragrances effortlessly make way for a lush and intense palate, brimming with blackcurrant, plum and liquorice flavours. Integrated with silky and juicy tannins, the drink culminates in a fine and grainy finish. Cellar this wine for 8 to 12 years, for the flavours to evolve. Serve it on a special occasion with lasagna or Vincisgrassi.

The Black Chook is another fantastic 'big fruit' style from Ben Riggs. The nose is complex with aromas of black cherries and violets and the palate is rich and spicy with great mouth feel and excellent length.

Intense, textured and showing pure fruit flavours, Jester Shiraz is considered Mitolo's baby G.A.M Shiraz using the same barrels in which the G.A.M was previously aged in. The palate is full of bright, red berry flavours, a subtle herbal character and an overall savoury quality to the finish. Made to be upfront and approachable for early appreciation, the Jester Shiraz delivers excellent quality for the price.

Pirramimma Shiraz is full-fruited and powerful, with sweet plum and mocha along with cinnamon notes and dark chocolate which are all typical regional characters of McLaren Vale.
