2021 Hand Crafted Shiraz

McLaren Vale

Story: It’s no secret that McLaren Vale is home to some of the best Shiraz in Australia. And this Hand Crafted by Geoff Hardy Shiraz is no exception. 

Vintage: 2021 will be one for the record books in more than one way but as far as vineyards across South Australia are concerned it was near perfect. Higher than average rainfall over winter allowed vines to produce good canopy and the cool – dry summer gave us beautiful even ripening conditions. This slow ripening allows great flavour development and retention of natural acidity.   

Nose: The nose offers appealing aromas of cherries and plums with a hint of spice. 

Palate: The palate is vibrant with plenty of plums and a touch of black pepper, followed by a lingering finish.  

Food Pairings: This rich Shiraz is best enjoyed with a home made Beef Wellington. Bon Appetit! 

Winemaker: Shane Harris. 

Cellaring: Drink now or to 2031
