Allegiance The Artisan McLaren Vale Shiraz 2024

From a vineyard in the McLaren Flat subregion of McLaren Vale, the fruit here was destemmed prior to fermentation and then received ten months maturation in French oak, 15% of which was new. Purple/maroon in colour, on the nose we have notes of dried herbs, mulberries, cranberries, aniseed, spices, blackcurrants and bay leaves. A seamless texture, there is good intensity throughout with fine balance and a lingering finish. The wine has direction and power, finishing with silky tannins. Enjoy this over the next ten to twelve years.
