Haselgrove Sunrach Shiraz 2021

Great vintage in McLaren Vale gives this wine an early advantage. ‘Sunrach’ is the Celtic word for special, quite apt, here. Maturation in a mix of new and older French oak for a period of twenty months. Opaque purple/maroon, this is rich and chocolatey with coffee beans and mocha. Classic top notch McLaren Vale Shiraz from a wonderful year. If this is your thing, then you’ll love this one. A touch of espresso with blackberries and mulberries. Vanillin oak certainly, but very well integrated. Delicious if decadent stuff, both seamless and supple. It offers soft and cushiony tannins. There is excellent length here and it maintains its intensity for the full journey. Eight to fifteen years ahead of it. Cracking stuff.
