Description
Blewitt Springs sits on the higher, sandier side of McLaren Vale, where ripening runs a little slower and the wines take on a slightly lighter, blue-fruited face. Duncan and Peter Lloyd know this country inside out - their certified organic vineyard here has been the backbone of the Dune wines from day one.
Blewitt Springs gives Shiraz perfume, lift, and a finer, more savoury edge than the heavier wines from down the hill. 2024 was a low-yielding year, so the fruit came off small and concentrated, with incredible balance right from the pick.
It’s medium-bodied and built on blueberry, dark cherry, plum and mulberry fruit with layers of spice, dried herbs and that gentle earthy warmth that marks this subregion. The tannins are long, fine and chalky, giving the wine shape without heaviness. Fermented naturally and raised in old oak, it’s unforced, detailed and far better than it has any right to be at this price.
This release took home the Trophy for Best Shiraz at the McLaren Vale Wine Show, which tells you what you need to know: this is one of Australia’s best-value reds, full stop.

Good, but tannins need a few more years of cellaring to settle, then it will earn the high points rating given.
