Curtis Limited Series McLaren Vale Shiraz 2021

From a great region and a stellar vintage, expectations were high for this wine. And more than met. A cracker. From a range of vineyards, the wine spends time maturing in a mix of French and American oak, some new, some a little older. The colour here is an opaque maroon. Rich and ripe, big and bold, this will thrill lovers of top-notch McLaren Vale Shiraz. The nose is oozing with notes of chocolate, blackberries, mocha, licorice, bay leaves and coffee beans, along with just a touch of bergamot. A seductive palate, cushiony tannins and great length, this is an absolute star of a wine. A ten year proposition.
