HaselGrove Bella Vigna McLaren Vale Shiraz 2021

A delicious McLaren Vale Shiraz. This spent a year and a half in a mix of French oak, new and older, before a final selection of those barrels were made for bottling. Black purple in colour, this is from a great vintage and shows it. Aromas of chocolate, plums, mocha, cherries, licorice and bergamot. This is still quite youthful, of course, and quite intense with a supple texture with a choc bikkie character on the palate. Very good length here, fine tannins and good concentration, which will provide pleasure over the next six to ten years.
