This is an epic bottle of McLaren Vale Shiraz that was blended up and bottled at the end of June, allowing the wine the time it needed to settle and meld together. It is a small batch release that is produced from a hand-selected set of the most luscious and expressive Shiraz barrels. Each one brings a little complexity and individuality to the finished wine which has an excellent balance between tighter graphite notes and lovely oaky opulence.
