The 2022 Brokenwood Wade Block 2 Shiraz is a superb single-vineyard McLaren Vale Shiraz, showcasing the region's richness with Brokenwood's hallmark elegance. Awarded 96 Halliday points, the wine displays expressive aromas of blackberry, black cherry and plum, layered with dark chocolate, Turkish Delight, black pepper and subtle French oak.
On the palate, it is full-bodied with fine, velvety tannins and balanced acidity. Concentrated flavours of ripe black fruits, cocoa and sweet spice are complemented by well-integrated oak, leading to a long, polished finish with impressive depth and finesse.
Ben's Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding McLaren Vale Shiraz for lovers of rich yet refined Australian reds. Pair with grilled ribeye, slow-cooked lamb shoulder, beef short ribs or aged cheddar. Enjoy now with a short decant or cellar confidently for the next 12–15 years.
