Shiraz 2020 – Black Market Deal #41827
- Rich, full-bodied
- McLaren Vale
One of our bestselling wines is back with a bang (for your buck). Vintage after vintage, this wine has been awarded 95+pts, proof’s in the pudding and mofos have gone mad for this shiraz. It’s rich, full-bodied and brimming with luxurious McLaren Vale fruity-chocolatey notes. There’s some of the very best grapes in the region here, held together by a generous touch of French oak. Drink now or cellar for the next decade and a half. From experience, though, you’ll crack this out well before then. Whether you open it or not, it’s the lowest risk investment you’ll make this year… and the returns are delicious.

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.
