Description

Tim Adams has been making no-nonsense, reliable Clare Valley Shiraz for decades, and this 2021 release is another solid example of what he does best. Sourced from the winery’s own vineyards, it’s a classic regional expression - bold yet balanced, with plenty of depth and structure.

The 2021 vintage was warm and dry, leading to lower yields and smaller berries, which means more concentration and intensity in the glass. The wine spent 24 months in American oak, allowing it to develop extra complexity while keeping the fruit front and centre. It’s approachable now but has the structure to age well over the next decade.

This is the kind of Shiraz that ticks all the boxes - full of character, great with food, and excellent value for a wine of this quality.

Description

Clare Valley Shiraz selected from our own premium vineyard sites has produced a wine with strong regional and varietal definition. This sophisticated yet elegant wine has a vibrant crimson hue with aromas and flavours of blackberry, mulberry and fresh cherries. Further complexity is built through 24 months of American oak maturation. The front and midpalate is full and soft, with flavours of small berry fruit and spice complemented by gently-toasted oak. The wine has great length, finishing with balanced oak and silky, structural tannin.

This graceful Clare Shiraz has power and finesse which makes it both approachable now and worthy of keeping for up to 10 years. We make our wines naturally and therefore this wine may form a harmless crystalline deposit, so we recommend decanting prior to serving.

Winemaking Notes

Components of this blend were separately fermented on skins to dryness before pressing, with only selected softer pressings returned to the wine. The individual batches spent 24 months in a combination of two and three year old American oak barrels. A further time in stainless steel tanks allowed for softening of oak tannin before blending, fining, and bottling.

Growing Conditions

The growing season leading in to the 2021 vintage was warm and dry with little rainfall, yields were low and berries small. As a result, our Shiraz shows a real concentration of vibrant colour, complex flavour and robust tannin structure.

Food Pairing

Shiraz makes an excellent accompaniment to grilled steak and other red meat dishes
