Shaw Family Vintners Windjammer Shiraz 2017 (6 x 750mL) McLaren Vale, SA

Description:

McLaren Vale Wine Region was judged highly successful with above average crops with minimal faults, and the ability to pick fruit during an extended dry autumn.

Winter weather conditions set up the early growth of vineyards with above average rainfall.

Spring was also wetter than average, but fortunately, the weather was relatively stable and dry.

Harvest began later with picking continuing into late April. Autumn continued to be warm and dry allowing vineyards to be successfully harvested by end of April.

Around a century ago, “Windjammers” were the rhinos of the sailing fleets. With hulls of steel, multiple masts and big square sails, they had presence standing still, but when needed, they could charge through the roughest weather at up to 16 knots on average. We reckon this Shiraz is a lot like the Windjammer, big and bold for the moment but with the voyage of a few more years, it will be the stuff of legend.

Winery Tasting Notes

Sourced from deep rooted old vines and aged in French Oak for 18 months, this is a fine McLaren Vale Shiraz.

With aromas of plums, blueberries and spices and generous on the palate, it finishes with subtle pepper overtones and an impression as big as its namesake.

Enjoy it now or put it away for awhile - it will love the test of time.
