Shiraz grapes flourish in McLaren Vale; they are almost weeds. The
variety grows well, always ripens, and
with correct vineyard management,
produces wines of depth, flavour and
structure. This is almost a good
enough reason for calling this wine “The Rascal”.
A rich Satsuma plum
coloured wine with a heady cassis,
black pepper and anise aroma. The
tannins are velvety, integrated and
balanced with the fruit. You’ll love
the “mouth feel” of the wine, its
berry flavours, the hint of pepper and
spice, and the lingering flavour.
It’s a great wine to accompany any
full flavoured fare. You could cellar it
for years if you like, but this is one “rascal” that can’t wait to be liberated
from the bottle. Go for it!
