Rolling Red McLaren Vale Shiraz 2023

From the Maslin Beach sub-region, fermentation took place in small batches, after which the wine was transferred to a mix of tanks and (mostly) older oak vessels, both French and American, for maturation. Opaque maroon in colour, the nose offers an array of aromas including chocolate, aniseed, leather, bay leaves, plums and boot polish. A wine chock full of flavour, we also see the emergence of sour cherries on the finish of the palate. This is a wine of decent length, concluding with fine tannins. The finish is persistent and intensity is maintained throughout. Enjoy this over the next eight to ten years.
