About The Wine
Wes Pearson is on an insane hotstreak at the moment cranking out some exception modern expressions of McLaren Vale at a great price.
His twin single vineyard Shiraz from 2019 are fantastic. This, the Wait Vineyard version, is the richer, more 'classic' example of McLaren Vale Shiraz.
It's rich, inky, thick with fruit and tannin but maintains great balance at the same time. In his 96 point review, Ned Goodwin MW wrote, "possibly no better expression of upper-echelon warm-climate shiraz at such a price."
About Dodgy Bros
What started as a small garage winemaking project for viticulturalist Peter Bolte, has grown into a full-time fun-filled winemaking gig.
With fruit secured from top growers with a handshake, Peter, along with Canadian winemaker Wes Pearson and 'grower extraordinaire' Peter Sommerville are now making tasty treats in a wide range of styles from excellent McLaren Vale sites.
The Dodgy Bros wines don't take themselves too seriously. These are adventurous and energetic wines with plenty of personality.

From The Producer
From the Wait family Vineyard in Blewitt Springs, McLaren Vale. This wine comes from the ‘Sandy Corner Block’, planted in 1966. It neighbours the old Grenache block found in our Old Vine Grenache (planted 1943). This year we felt that this wine was so unique in its expression of Shiraz that it deserved to be bottled as a stand alone wine, as a homage to the vineyard. It was matured for 18 months in old French oak barriques and hogsheads, and It was not fined or filtered. This wine will reward those with patience as it will develop gracefully over the next decade, but is also approachable in its youth with bright, fresh fruit flavours. 1300 bottles produced.
Blend : Shiraz (100%)
ABV : 14.50%

Critic Reviews
"Ripe raspberry, floral, a dusting of sweet spices, almost red liquorice, with something a little earthy and peppery beneath. It’s flush, fleshy, and packed with ripe red fruit, tannin has a slightly ferrous character, but it’s so lovely and ripe, they almost feel succulent. Roll them around, and they feel great. Density and flavour, settled acidity, and a very long finish, that tannin really pushing out the finish. Flat out charming, and, with a bit of X-Factor. Perfumed, even-weighted, and plush. It’s a terrific expression of McLaren Vale Shiraz." - Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)
"The duo of single-plot Blewitt Springs shiraz under this label is exceptional. There is possibly no better expression of upper-echelon warm-climate shiraz at such a price. Premium pedigree. The salient point of differentiation being the riper, coffee grind/mocha elements of this cuvée and its darker-fruit aspersions. Minimal handling is manifest in juicy acidity and moreish precise tannins. Lots of kombu umami elements, conferring warmth and savouriness. A real pulse and fine length." - Ned Goodwin MW (Halliday Wine Companion)
