Description

The MMAD Shiraz emerges as a vibrant and sumptuous offering, delivering an enticing fusion of fruit, spice, and tannin that presently delights the palate and promises further refinement with age.

Sourced from a historic vineyard in Blewitt Springs, planted back in 1941, this wine embodies meticulous craftsmanship. Employing a thoughtful winemaking approach, with a touch of whole bunches, has resulted in a wine brimming with intense fruit character, beautifully counterbalanced by savory nuances.

Despite its unassuming packaging, the MMAD Shiraz packs an abundance of flavor. Dark and red fruits, including blackberry, mulberry, and plum, dance harmoniously alongside notes of violets and spice, all supported by a sturdy foundation of firm tannins and lively acidity. This is a wine to savor slowly, allowing its captivating flavors to linger on the palate indefinitely.

"We retained more whole bunches in 2022, (about a third) adding grip, spice, and savoury complexity. This wine shows lovely pure violet and blueberry aromas, some earth, dark salted chocolate notes, and ripe mouthwatering tannins."

This is a seriously impressive release... Rather, it is poised throughout, with fruit intensity seamlessly meshed into a silky, supple but aptly assertive structure, a ferrous nori/kelp mineral note underpinning. For a site purchased prizing grenache, this is a revelation.

An outstanding shiraz. The tannins are formidable and sneaky—they will ensure a long aging career. A stonking McLaren Vale regional shiraz.

If there was such a thing for single vineyard, vintage, Aussie shiraz, this wine would be classified as first growth.
