Curtis Family Vineyards Terra Rossa Mclaren Vale Shiraz
Lloyd Brothers Reserve Shiraz
The 2022 Estate Shiraz is hand crafted from grapes grown on blocks 1, 9 and 10 of the Lloyd Brothers McLaren Vale Estate.

After 14 months the best barrels were selected to create the Estate Shiraz. This wine shows lovely rich, ripe, dark berry fruit on the palate with overtones of mocha, spice, black pepper and liquorice. Approachable in its youth this wine will happily age for 10+ years.
