The Perfect Storm McLaren Vale Shiraz 2022

Forged in nature’s fury, perfected in the glass.

High in the McLaren Vale ranges, The Perfect Storm vineyard overlooks Gulf St Vincent, where sweeping storms shape both the landscape and its fruit. From this exceptional site comes the 2022 Shiraz, hand-picked and fermented in small batches to capture maximum richness and depth. After fermentation, the wine was pressed and matured for 12 months in American barriques, then bottled with minimal filtration to preserve its natural complexity and structure.

In the glass, this Shiraz reveals opaque purple-black hues and concentrated aromas of blackberry, plum, dark chocolate, and espresso. The palate is powerful yet refined, with layers of rich dark fruit, subtle oak, and pepper, supported by firm, structured tannins that lead to a long, elegant finish.

This single-vineyard McLaren Vale Shiraz, crafted by a trophy-winning winemaker, is a 96-point Gold Medal winner from Wine Showcase Magazine and one of the winery’s best-selling releases. Bold, intense, and layered, it is a wine to enjoy now or cellar for years to come.
