Description

Col McBryde at Adelina wanted to make a Shiraz that was a little different to their usual one - a bit more dark and broody, but still keeping the classic Adelina style.

So Col sourced some certified organic fruit from the McLaren Vale, coming from a ripper site in Kangarilla managed by two impeccable growers, Yanagrra's Michael Lane and Pete Fraser. We all know what great fruit and a deft touch equals.

It's got a focus more on dark fruit flavour than their Clare Valley reds, with chewy tannin and a bit more of a broodiness to its personality. Still inherently Adelina in style, it's something a little different - and incredibly delicious.

"Red and black berries, quite nutty, a little spice and dried herb perfume. Medium-bodied, red fruits mainly, again that nutty character, with a little mint, fine dusty tannin grip with a savoury tobacco edge, lively with plenty of energy, and a firm finish of good length. Good wine."
- Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)

93 Points - "-Yangarra Estate, Block 8, Kangarilla, typical sandy soils (ACO organic cert.) Destemmed, 50% crushed berries, three ferments (all concrete) 19, 58 and 88 days maceration. Pressed and 49% matured in concrete tank, 51% in 700l oak, 20% new, for up to 10 months.”

90 Points - "The 2022 McLaren Vale Shiraz is chocolaty and lithe, with notes of chocolate-covered raspberries, Milo, redcurrants, burnt toffee and fennel seeds. In the mouth, this is supple and spicy, with a leafy, amaro-esque quality to the finish. Nicely poised, good feeling. 13.8% alcohol, sealed under screw cap." - Erin Larkin (The Wine Advocate)

Adelina

Adelina Wines, established by Jennie Gardner and Col McBryde, is situated in the Springfarm Valley of Clare Valley. With vineyards dating back to 1910, the estate includes Shiraz, Grenache, Mataro, Malbec, and a unique field blend. Col and Jennie, both PhDs in microbiology, have transformed the vineyard with organic farming methods, achieving certification in 2020.

Their wines are known for delicacy, purity, and terroir expression, featuring old vine Shiraz and Mataro, exceptional Nebbiolo, and vibrant Rieslings. The 80-year-old Grenache vines produce fine-boned, high-toned wines, while the Shiraz showcases bold flavors and impressive tannins.

Sustainability is central to their approach, with minimal water use, manual weeding, and maintaining native scrub. They are also pursuing carbon-neutral certification. Adelina Wines embodies quality and innovation, offering wines that reflect their unique terroir and sustainable practices.
