The 2023 Penny's Hill Black Chook Shiraz is a generous McLaren Vale Shiraz with a small addition of Viognier bringing aromatic lift. The nose shows red cherry and mixed berries with delicate florals, vanilla and gentle spice, reflecting the ripe yet fresh character of the 2023 vintage.
On the palate, it is full-bodied and fruit-driven, with juicy red and dark berries supported by fine, supple tannins. Around 12 months of oak maturation adds vanilla and spice while maintaining the wine’s smooth texture and vibrant fruit.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for those who enjoy approachable McLaren Vale Shiraz with generous fruit, soft tannins and savoury spice. Ideal with grilled steak, roast lamb, barbecue meats, beef dishes or mushroom-based pasta.
