Eisenstone McDonald Vineyard Marananga Shiraz 2022

Such a lovely vibrancy and immediacy to the fruit and the intensity is off the charts. Welcome to Marananga! Colour is deepest purple, almost black. Spices, florals and fruit mix and whirl and lift in a seamless, unforced way. Blue fruits, red liquorice, black cherry, plum, sage, a touch of green herbals and earth with a splash of savoury soy, dark chocolate and cigar box – it’s an impressively complex set of flavours – swept along with lovely, velvety lithe tannins. The line of deep fruit intensity is just so part of Marananga. Still has plenty left in the tank. Give it time, if you have the patience.
