Pertaringa Reserve Shiraz Heritage Series McLaren Vale 2022

A superb Shiraz from a great vintage in McLaren Vale, the wine spent twenty months maturing in a mix of new and older French oak. A wine which screams class. This is a near opaque maroon with a dark purple rim complemented by a gorgeously ripe nose, this is all mocha, chocolate, coffee beans and cassis. There are flavours of dried herbs here, with blackberries and mulberries, plums, cocoa powder and deftly handled oak. Great extraction with fine balance, bright acidity and serious length. Supple, silky tannins tie everything together with a lingering finish. A stunning McLaren Vale Shiraz which has ten to fifteen years ahead of it.
