Beresford Estate Blewitt Springs Shiraz 2022

As with most of the team’s reds, this is from the highly regarded sub-region of Blewitt Springs in McLaren Vale. Maturation, again as is the norm with the team, was in a mix of new, one and two-year-old French and American oak hogsheads. Deep magenta, this will benefit from a little extra time to allow the oak to complete integration. The wine is rich, generous and approachable with notes of mocha, mulberries, cloves, coffee beans, graphite, blackberries, kirsch and chocolate. Good intensity throughout, this is a wine brimming with life and energy. Fine balance, sleek tannins and such impressive length, really love this and it should drink beautifully for up to fifteen years, at least. A wine which has the wow factor in spades.
