Description

Martin Moran’s 2022 Basket Press Shiraz is full-bodied Langhorne Creek done right – big on flavour but with a gentle, hands-on touch that keeps it all in balance. It’s made from a single vineyard site, basket pressed, and matured for 15 months in oak before bottling. Martin lets the fruit do the talking, but there’s no rush – everything here feels considered and in its place.

The wine’s got depth and richness, for sure, but it never feels overworked. You’ll find all the dark fruit and spice you'd expect from Shiraz in this neck of the woods, plus that little leafy edge that often shows up in Langhorne Creek reds. It’s full of flavour but holds its shape beautifully thanks to some very fine, supple tannin.

A great pick if you’re into classic South Aussie Shiraz but want something with a bit more finesse and polish. Just a really well-made wine from someone who clearly knows and respects his fruit.

"There’s so much flavour yet the wine feels unforced, gentle even... dark cherries and plums, warm spices, licorice and Chinese five-spice... energising to the last drop."
- Jane Faulkner (Halliday Wine Companion)

*** Mordrelle’s beautiful labels are created from original artworks painted by Martin Moran's late father, renowned Argentinian artist Jose Luis Moran. The artworks are available for sale through the Mordrelle website.

96 points - "Gosh, what an impressive line-up of reds from Mordrelle, utilising excellent fruit from Langhorne Creek. There’s so much flavour yet the wine feels unforced, gentle even. Heady aromas of florals and fruit; flavours of dark cherries and plums, warm spices, licorice and Chinese five-spice. The fuller-bodied palate is replete with beautifully shaped, round, supple tannins and velvety texture, and it is energising to the last drop." - Jane Faulkner (Halliday Wine Companion)

    Lovely wine

    Elegant and with great depth and flavour

Fruit from a single vineyard, traditionally made, 15 months in oak. Amazingly intense royal purple colour in the glass. The oak appears first on the nose. There’s a heap going on here with dark fruits and berries, a fabulous shot of licorice and further spices through the palate. It’s all held in place by the tannins, presentable yet pliable. Intense yet with an artisan touch.

Mordrelle

Martin Moran was born and raised in Argentina, where his infatuation with viticulture and winemaking began as his grandfather would walk with him through their family vineyards in Mendoza.

He went on to specialise in viticulture and oenology, and eventually found himself in Australia to work vintages across the Langhorne Creek, Adelaide Hills and McLaren Vale regions. It was here that Martin stayed, falling in love with (and marrying) his wife Michelle and embarking on the dream of starting their own boutique label - starting with their first wine, a sparkling created just for their wedding!

They specialise in premium, aged sparkling wines, but you'll find plenty of joy in their reds and whites too.
