Haselgrove The Ambassador Single Vineyard Shiraz 2023

A single vineyard Shiraz, from vines planted back in 1972, just 3,150 bottles made and under diam, this is a tribute to Les Burdett – and as every cricket fan will know, he is the legendary curator of the Adelaide Oval. Blending of the various parcels from the vineyard took place after eighteen months maturation in one and two year old French oak hogsheads. Dark red in colour, the nose reveals spices, redcurrants, mocha, licorice, woodsmoke, well-handled oak, plums and cloves. Alluring fragrances throughout. This wine has energy and focus with good acidity and sleek tannins. Of medium weight, it will drink impressively for the next ten to twelve years.
