Description

The 2024 Maxwell Eocene Ancient Earth Shiraz is a distinctive McLaren Vale Shiraz shaped by the region’s ancient soils and warm maritime climate. The nose shows blackberry, dark plum and black cherry with violet, cracked pepper, savoury spice and subtle earthy notes.

On the palate, it is full-bodied and structured, with concentrated dark fruit, balanced acidity and firm, fine tannins. Savoury spice and integrated oak add depth, leading to a long and persistent finish.

Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for those who enjoy structured McLaren Vale Shiraz with concentrated fruit and savoury complexity. Enjoy now with decanting or cellar for further development. Ideal with grilled steak, roast lamb, slow-cooked beef or mushroom dishes.

About the region

South Australia · McLaren Vale

South Australia grows more wine than any other Australian state, and its subregions behave almost like separate countries. Barossa and Eden Valley give Shiraz and Riesling, McLaren Vale leans to Grenache, Clare Valley to dry Riesling, Adelaide Hills to Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, and Coonawarra to Cabernet on red terra rossa soil. Strict quarantine has kept phylloxera out, so some vineyards still work vines planted in the nineteenth century.
