The MV displays the hallmarks of classic McLaren Vale Shiraz – elegance, balance and pleasure in a bottle. This wine gives the best of both worlds: a fantastic wine when young, but careful cellaring for 5-10 years will reward you very nicely.

WINE MAKING & VINTAGE
| Vintage: | The grapes were hand picked and selector harvested at optimum flavour and sugar equilibrium. 40% of the harvest was used as whole bunches while the remainder was delicately destemmed over the top of the whole bunches. The ferment was 100% wild/ natural yeast spontaneous fermentation. The small batch ferments were carefully plunged and pumped over for 14 days to extract colour, flavour and tannin structure. The ferments were pressed to new and mature French oak barriques, where they were nurtured for 12 months prior to blending and bottling. |

REVIEWS
2015 - 92pt James Halliday Wine Companion 2018
Separate parcels from each of the Paxton shiraz vineyards, aged for 12 months in new and used French and American barriques. This wine takes you on a comfortable ride. The bouquet offers sweet-fruit aromas with a measure of chocolate and a gently warming earthiness. The palate is soft but structured, the varietal and regional flavours all in sync. Get on board.
2019 - 91pt Huon Hook Wine Reviews - The Real Review
Deep, rich red-purple colour with a rich, oaky, savory, traditional style bouquet – high ripeness and fairly high alcohol, plus plenty of oak. Full-body, good concentration and amplitude: a big generous shiraz style.
