{"product_id":"2025-margan-bc4-shiraz","title":"2025 Margan BC4 Shiraz","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe BC4 Shiraz is a standalone release that highlights the Margan's desire to shift away from old-school, heavy oak towards a brighter style. Sourced from sustainably managed estate vines on ancient volcanic red clay, this bottling focuses purely on a contemporary, light-footed expression of Hunter fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2025 growing season delivered ideal conditions, offering pristine fruit with great aromatic purity and bright natural acidity. Ollie included a portion of whole bunches during fermentation to introduce a lively, spicy character, with maturation in older, large-format oak casks letting the vibrant primary fruit take center stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe nose is really open and expressive, showing dark cherry, wild blackberry, black pepper, and a fragrant lift of purple flowers. On the palate, it feels supple and medium-bodied, balancing its juicy core of dark berry flavour with fine tannins and a crunchy, refreshing finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a brilliant, forward-thinking Hunter Shiraz that swaps heavy, old-school weight for high-energy drinkability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93+ points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Almost Italianate in a way. Comes up well in the glass, and builds some weight. Very interesting. I really like it, and I like what they’re doing here too.
