Village Green Shiraz 2021
VINTAGE: The 2021 growing season has been widely recognised as a once in a generation vintage, with perfect growing conditions in McLaren Vale.
STORY: "Growing up, I spent many happy days watching the cricket with family and friends. Today, my family and I still love the game, especially while enjoying a glass of wine with friends at Adelaide Oval’s very own ‘Village Green’.
The artwork on this front label is called ‘In My Day’ and was painted by renowned English artist Terry Harrison, featuring the Village Green in Hurstbourne Priors. It reminds my husband Richard of growing up in Yorkshire and spending long summer days watching cricket at the county’s village greens.
This McLaren Vale Shiraz is youthful and vibrant with notes of plums, black cherries, and a hint of spice. I hope it brings you as many fond memories as the Village Green, in all its forms, has brought us!", Bec Hardy.
VINEYARDS: Mainly sourced from the Klavenik vineyard in a higher, slightly cooler part of McLaren Vale, close to Kuitpo in the Adelaide Hills, picked in April. A small parcel from the Howlett vineyard on the outskirts of Willunga completes the wine. Bottled early December.
OAK: Six months in mainly older French oak.
CELLARING: Drink now to 2027
Reserve Shiraz 2019
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.
CELLARING: Drink now to 2030
