A wine that consistently inspires almost indecent enthusiasm from all that pop the cork. These pioneer planted shiraz vines in the revered Blewitt Springs sub-region of McLaren Vale have been hand-tendered continuously and painstakingly watched over since their planting. The result is a wine showing complexity, structure and intensity of flavour that is utterly unique to the vineyard and seldom seen anywhere else in the world. Rich, concentrated, dark red fruits and abundant ripe tannins are seamlessly integrated into spicy, perfumed oak to create a structural, but heavily fruit-weighted wine that will steal the spotlight and create memories from now until 2035 (at least).

If you're a fan of Barossa shiraz or even bigger styles of McLaren Vale shiraz, you're going to absolutely love this wine. This was built to honour the climate and terroir of one of Australia's most-highly-rated shiraz regions – Wrattonbully. Be warned: This is not for the faint of heart... Specifically crafted to showcase the 'Cavelands' sub-region with its layers of Terra Rossa soils, limestone caves, pristine waters and maritime climate that makes this place so bloody special. Big, bold, full-bodied and loaded with dark fruits. This is an intense, fruit-driven beast with abundant juicy red fruit flavours and a rich, round palate that doesn't mess around. Lingering dark fruits, pepper spice and overt oak complete the picture, delivering a balanced and seriously impressive finish. Made for carnivores who like their reds powerful and their meals substantial. Any cut of meat you choose to throw at it – ribeye, lamb chops, slow-cooked beef – this shiraz will be its best mate.

139 years in, and the Angove family are still genuine guardians of their South Australian vineyards - sustainability isn't a buzzword here, it's the whole ethos. This Shiraz shows it off beautifully: dark purple-red, black cherry, blackcurrant and plum, soft and juicy with a moreish quality that's completely undeniable.. Easy to drink. Even easier to love.

This shiraz genuinely punches well above its weight - especially when you take into account the name on the label - delivering quality and complexity you'd expect from wines commanding significantly higher prices. It's got power, finesse and approachability, meaning you can geek out analysing all the layers or just pour generously and enjoy without overthinking. Vibrant, polished McLaren Vale shiraz crafted with estate-grown fruit sourced from two of this producer's most famous vineyards. 9 months in seasoned American (70%) and French (30%) oak brings a bit of grunt whilst retaining fruit purity. Ripe dark plum and spice aromas leading to a generous, structured palate - juicy black fruit, subtle peppery notes, a plush texture and fine supple tannins stretching to lingering finish. Store or pour - up to you - this one will be sitting pretty from now until 2030 at least!
