Deep River McLaren Vale Shiraz 2021

This complex, deeply-flavoured red comes from McLaren Vale, the spiritual home of the small Australian winery and many of the country’s iconic reds. Big, rich and full-flavoured, it’s McLaren Vale to a T. Small parcels of top quality McLaren Vale Shiraz were selected from vineyards of McLaren Vale growers like Mike Rogers. Mike’s vines grow on iron-rich soils near the Onkaparinga River, which has carved out spectacular deep gorges through the foothills – and given the wine its name. The generously rich fruit enjoyed extra care and attention in the winery, which has added to the wine’s mouthcoating depth and complexity. It ripples with vibrant mulberry, plum and spice on a rich, smooth palate. Well-integrated oak makes for a profoundly satisfying, full-bodied Shiraz.
