Distinctively labelled Barrel Monkey Shiraz is an old-time McLaren Vale hero with a name that celebrates the hard-working cellar hands affectionately known as ‘barrel monkeys’, at the centre of every successful winery – those who frequently progress to become the next generation of great winemakers.
It’s made in a style that has attracted legions of fans vintage after vintage, a style that legendary Aussie expert James Halliday once described as: “… fairly and squarely expressive of place, variety and the style that has caught the attention of the world. It is joyously juicy, a flood of red (mostly) and black fruits, a dab of chocolate, and enough body to satisfy the most rusted on carnivore.”
He gave that vintage 94pts, and the last two vintages both won Gold – this Gold-winning 2023 makes it six vintages in a row with Gold or Double Golds and a raft of high point scores too!
"Deep purple red. Expressive nose of stone fruit, spice and floral notes. Powerful yet controlled on the palate, with elegant tannins and a characterful aromatic profile. A vintage in top form."(Gilbert & Gaillard Judges).
