Region

McLaren Vale is 40 Km to the South of Adelaide approximately. It experiences all four season with a Mediterranean climate. Its is only 15-20 km from the sea means it has a more even temperature range between the day and night and protects it from frost and drought.

Style

Shiraz and Zinfandel both feature here due to the ripe fruit flavours overlaid with spice. For Shiraz you’ll notice white or black pepper on the nose where Zinfandel will remind you of a spicy fruitcake, think cherries & cinnamon. These wines smell good, look good and taste good.
