  MCLAREN VALE/SOUTH AUSTRALIA
 
 
 
       
 
Limited June Release Case Size: 12/750ml Shiraz
   
  Tasting Notes

The fruit for this powerful Shiraz is sourced from a 45 year old block of Shiraz vines that is said to have been planted using cuttings from one of the original vineyards planted back in the 1860’s. “Top of the Hill” refers to both the vineyards pedigree and its location. Perched at the top of a hill just to the north of the township of McLaren Vale, it boasts commanding views and shallow Terra Rossa soil. Stunning aromatics with blackberry and plum taking the limelight. Hints of licorice and spice add to the wine’s magical intensity. Yet it has an elegance and softness that makes for superb drinking now and for years to come.
