The Shingleback D Block Reserve Shiraz is named for the Davey Block of the Davey Estate vineyard and is the personal expression of the McLaren Vale from the eyes of winemaker John Davey. True reserve wines, the D Block is only made in exceptional vintages just like this 2009. In the glass the wine has a colour that is impenetrable purple red. On the nose there are aromas of mulberry and blackberry that mingle with dusty cashew, milky chocolate (typical of McLaren Vale), spice and forest floor. There are tight, fine tannins to counter the bold, fresh fruit which results in an alluring and unmistakable wine that expresses the essence of the vine, the time and the place.

The Mclaren Vale with its Mediterranean climate is well recognised for producing some of Australia’s finest Shiraz. Displaying spicy red fruits aromas, the velvety tannins and well-integrated oak create a seamless harmony for this lighter style of Shiraz.

Bright cherry red in colour. The fragrant cherry aromas and flavours of the Tempranillo lead, harmonising with the earthiness of the Monastrell and the Turkish delight of the Grenache. Textural elements structure and enhance the vibrant fruit flavours of this medium bodied wine.
