98POINTS

98pts & Top in Category, Winestate Magazine, McLaren Vale Tasting.

Produced by 5* Halliday & Top 100, 6th generation vigneron, Bec Hardy.

Take 66% off the Bec Hardy Reserve McLaren Vale Shiraz 2019. Premium wines at export/wholesale prices.

VINTAGE: The 2019 growing season started with mild weather and below average rainfall. Some late spring rain provided a bit of relief from the dry conditions. A heatwave in January was luckily too early in the ripening cycle to cause any damage to the fruit. This was followed by a very mild and dry finish to the vintage, allowing good hang time and flavour development to the smaller than average crop.

STORY: Some of our McLaren Vale parcels stand out from the others, these have more intensity, tannin, and acidity. These parcels are kept separate and a higher proportion goes into new French oak. The resultant wine has fantastic complexity, length and will age well over ten years – a great one for the cellar!

NOSE: The nose offers elegant notes of cherries and raspberries with a touch of pepper and other spices, as well as some toasty oak aromas.

PALATE: The palate is rich and elegant with lots of superb fruit flavours, hints of minerality, and well-integrated oak, followed by great structure on the lingering finish.

PAIRS WITH: Try it (as I will be doing this evening) with some Grilled Kangaroo with a galic and herb rub, Turkish Pilaf & Tray Baked Summer Vegetables.

CELLARING: Drink now to 2030

  • thanks! Looking forward to it

    • Cheers! Enjoy. Drink a few now and put a few down if you can. Cheers! RD :-)

  • I paid $19, boohoo! 😂😂😂

    One of the boys bought this and really enjoyed it too! I probably won't open for a long time.

    • Swing away on some more. One for the cellar. AN extra incentive price to reflect (and promote the 98pts and Top in Category accolade in a benchmark tasting against other McLaren Vale SHiraz at similar price points. Drinks well now but a good cellar proposition for those that do. Cheers! RD :-)

  • Silly question, but what's the difference with the export label stuff?

    • +1

      Wines predominantly made for an export market (as opposed for consumption in Australia). No difference in quality merely some labels/brands work or are a preference in some markets. Cheers! RD :-)

      • Thanks!

  • Just bought some of your 2021 Export McLaren Vale Shiraz. Is this the same but different vintage?

    • +1

      No, completely different style. Bigger, more traditional Australian style. Better quality fruit, picked a little later, more new oak, longer in oak. Hence difference in price points. Cheers! RD.

  • I can see 96 points on page 157 here: https://pubhtml5.com/dzeu/eakf/basic/151-196 - Still a good score mind you, but what edition is the 98 from?

    • Hi @Rhimes. Results in just last week for the May-June 2022 edition as quoted in the original post above. (Two other scores of 98 too). The nice thing about this score is in direct comparison in a tasting of other MV wines, so a real regional benchmark. Happy to send through the pdf notification should you wish. Please PM your email if you'd like to see it. Cheers! RD :-)

  • When cellaring, in Victoria weather conditions. Would putting under stairs be fine or do you need to have more stable temperatures? Thanks

    • Yes, cellaring is all about stable, temperate storage. Give it a google for the full dos and donts.
      Cheers!
      RD :-)

  • Link takes you to $600 for 12. What is the link to this wine?

    • Hi Dajaba. You need to use the code above to apply the discount. Cheers! RD :-)

  • Thanks, bought a dozen. Fingers crossed it’s nice 😁

    • +1

      If it was crap, we wouldn’t have our name on it and it wouldn’t score 98 points when judged by a panel of other Australian winemakers! You’re in safe hands I’m sure. Cheers RD.

      • Thanks RD,
        Arrived today. Naturally popped the top tonight. Not disappointed at all. Good body and scope to improve further with cellaring. Outstanding at this price point. Well done And thanks

        • Terrific. Good to hear you’re enjoying. Swing away whilst you can it won’t be up for much longer at that price point! Enjoy. Cheers. RD :-)

  • Hi Richard, David the Taxi Driver here, really enjoyed your last (well a couple so far of the dozen) and looking forward to these little beauties. Stay safe and keep up the good work. Cheers

    • +1

      Thanks mate! This is a wonder deal, glad you’re on board! Cheers! RD

  • Thanks RD, have enjoyed your wines before from postings on this deal site. The Trans-Tasman drawbridge has lowered and I have finally managed to get home to NZL. This deal is too good to miss so I have passed it on to all of my friends in Australia who enjoy red wine along with suitably effusive compliments.

    • Thanks mate! Enjoy NZ and being home. We dream of travel still! All the best RD :-)

  • Thanks RD! My dozen arrived today. Excellent wine, exceeded expectations and an absolute steel at 16 a bottle. Have just placed an order for more while still available. Only hitch is PayPal have placed some sort of review on my payment. Strange, never seen this before?

    • Thanks for the kind feedback.
      The PayPal thing happens from time to time - I’ve no idea why! - but it will resolve itself within 24hrs without you or I having to do anything, so all good. Enjoy the wine, thanks for the support. All the best RD :-)

  • just made a payment through paypal and it is in pending for their review. strange.
    first time having my payment reviewed by paypal.

    hopefully it gets through and get ur wines soon.

    thanks
    bryan

      Hi Bryan. Yeah, the Paypal thing whilst annyoing is nothing to worry about. As per my post directly above it wil resolve itself. They'll be on their way soon enough! Cheers RD :-)

      • thanks RD!

        i can see my order went through and received ur email regarding my order acknowledgment.

        what a bargain for quality wines!!!
        congrats on ur 98 points from j holiday. ;)

        • Hi Bryan. Thanks for the order. I’m sure you’ll enjoy. The 98 is from Winestate Magazine - which is blind judged by peers in price categories (unlike Halliday), so a better benchmark for quality IMO. Cheers RD :-)

  • Ordered a dozen to try…

    .

    • Thanks! Hope you enjoy. Cheers! RD :-)

  • Just received today, will try it tonight. What do the points mean?

    • +1

      I'm sure you'll enjoy. It means that Australia's oldest wine magazine, in a benchmark blind tasting by Australian winemakers and viticulturists, rated this wine 98/100 and the best wine in it's price category against other McLaren Vale wines. Hope that helps. Cheers! RD :-)

      • Wow, that's awesome! Thanks for the explanation

        • My pleasure. Enjoy! Hope you have something good to eat with it :-)

  • Hey, I decided to order a dozen to try but i am not sure why my payment is on hold. I paid with Paypal and it's never happened before. Hopefully it goes through and i receive the wines before Sat next week :)

    • Hi scdd80. Thanks for the order. Don’t worry about the PayPal thing. It always resolves itself within 24hrs. Like you, no idea why it happens. Wind will leave on Monday so fingers crossed hits you before the weekend. Cheers! RD :-)

      • Thanks RD 👌

        • Wind 🤣
          *Wine 👍

    • Same thing happened to me with PayPal for the first time ever too. Maybe something to do with the value or the discount? They cleared it later in the day anyway. My wine arrived and they are definitely a good buy at this price!
