The 2024 Heirloom Vineyards McLaren Vale Shiraz is a vibrant and generous expression of one of Australia’s most celebrated red wine regions. Sourced from premium McLaren Vale vineyards, this Shiraz highlights the region’s hallmark combination of ripe fruit intensity, supple texture and savoury complexity, while retaining freshness and balance.
The nose is rich and expressive, revealing aromas of blackberry, dark plum and blueberry alongside notes of black pepper, dark chocolate and subtle spice. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with velvety tannins, bright acidity and concentrated flavours of ripe black fruits. Layers of liquorice, cocoa and gentle oak influence add depth, leading to a smooth, persistent finish with excellent balance.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a fantastic McLaren Vale Shiraz for those who enjoy generous fruit, soft tannins and classic regional character. Its approachable style and rich flavour profile make it a versatile partner for grilled steaks, lamb cutlets, slow-cooked beef or barbecue dishes. Enjoy now for its vibrant fruit expression or cellar over the next 5–8 years as additional complexity develops.
