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
