The Ulithorne Avitus McLaren Vale Shiraz 2018 is an elegant wine that exhibits aromas of blackberry, cedar, plums, and mulberry on the nose. This wine showcases a rich palate of dark berries, mocha, and dark chocolate. A refined structure with chewy tannins and persistent length.

Ironstone Pressings is named after the decomposed laterite granite known as ironstone found throughout the vineyards of McLaren Vale. This soil has a unique and rich red-brown colour from the iron oxide in the stone. Ironstone pressings is comprised of Grenache, Shiraz and Mourvèdre and each parcel is vinified separately. The wine is vinified in a traditional style, with foot treading employed on selected parcels during fermentation. The wine is basket pressed and transferred to new and used French and old American oak barriques to finish primary and secondary fermentation. Final assembly of the blend occurs after ten months maturation in oak. Ironstone Pressings is not fined or filtered prior to bottling. typically shows intense red berry fruit and spice aromas leading into a well-structured palate with great fruit concentration and savoury undertones.

We were blessed with a spectacular vintage in 2013 - the reds will be talked about for along time! Low cropping with great intensity. The old vine shiraz fruit from the 1948 planted vines always delivers, and 2013 is no exception. We are very happy with the resultant wines from this old block of Shiraz in 2013, and we hope you will be too.
