Shiraz 2015 – Black Market Deal #35319
- Rich, full-bodied
- McLaren Vale
I wasn’t familiar with this boutique McLaren Vale producer until recently and I am glad that I have discovered their delicious wines. This is one of their shiraz offerings, from the vineyard they own and run with great attention to detail. The wine sits between medium and full bodied, with spice on the nose and something deep and dark - I couldn’t quite put my finger on it, but it really was alluring. The palate is full of dark berries and vibrant plums, along with a hint of black olive, adding a little salty touch to all that fruit. It’s long, complex and balanced, a really good wine.

Region
McLaren Vale
McLaren Vale is a region that lives in the shadow of the hype of the Barossa. While it has played on Shiraz as its drawcard, and continues to battle (quite rightly) with the supreme power of the Barossa, perhaps the most exciting wines from this region are its old vine Grenache and Mataro (Mourvedre/Monastrell - whatever you want to call it), and its more recent foray into Spanish and Italian varietals. Both the sun's warmth and the reliable salty afternoon gully breeze make the climate closer to Mediterranean than many other Aussie regions, and some of the Fiano, Vermentino, Tempranillo and Sangiovese from here are sublime (to name only a few). Awareness, proper consideration and sense of place are key attributes to the region's success, and its recent win against urbanisation reinforces the value of the viticultural region.
