The 2023 Maxwell Ellen Street Shiraz is a refined and expressive McLaren Vale Shiraz crafted in a premium Australian style, showcasing rich dark fruit, elegant structure and exceptional balance. The nose is deeply aromatic, revealing aromas of blackberry, black plum and dark cherry, complemented by notes of cracked black pepper, liquorice, dark chocolate and subtle cedar oak.
On the palate, it is full-bodied with fine, velvety tannins, balanced natural acidity and a beautifully concentrated texture, delivering flavours of ripe blackberry, blueberry and plum layered with hints of mocha, baking spice, savoury herbs and finely integrated oak. The finish is long, smooth and persistent, highlighting the depth, complexity and regional character of McLaren Vale Shiraz.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a fantastic premium Shiraz for customers who enjoy rich, full-flavoured reds with polished tannins and impressive complexity. Perfect for special occasions, entertaining or pairing with hearty cuisine. Enjoy now after decanting, or cellar confidently over the next 8–12 years as it develops further savoury complexity. Ideal with grilled rib-eye steak, slow-roasted lamb, braised beef cheeks, venison or aged hard cheeses.
