Bec Hardy McLaren Vale Shiraz 2022
Vintage: 2022 has been one of the best vintages experienced in McLaren Vale. Mid-winter rainfall was above-average and a few riverside vineyards also received a small flood giving the soil a good soak. The mild season and moderate crop allowed a long ripening period to produce wines with good intensity and acid.
Winemaking: Crushed and destemmed. Static stainless steel fermenter. The grapes spent 9 days on skins. 100% Seasoned French Oak Hogsheads.
Nose: The nose offers aromas of plums, dark cherries and subtle spices with a trace of mint.
Palate: The palate is medium-bodied with great flavours of dark fruits including plums and cherries with complex notes of spice and chocolate, finishing delightfully smooth and lingering.
Cellaring: Drink now to 2030
Alc: 14.5% | TA: 6.14g/L |
pH: 3.61 | RS: 0.6g/L |

"An utterly delicious McLaren Vale Shiraz. The colour is a vibrant dark purple. The nose is full of notes of chocolate biscuits, rich mocha and coffee grinds, with blackberries and mulberries. There is grip, length and good intensity. Real length here. Enjoy this now, but it will continue to provide pleasure for the next decade. Absolutely stonking value. Love it. "
