Willunga 100 McLaren Vale Cabernet Shiraz 2022
£13.75
The wine
Intense dark cherry and cedar complemented by tobacco and bay leaf. Rich blackcurrant and toasty oak on the palate.
Cabernet with Shiraz is the classic Australian blend, predating the Rhône-style pairings now more fashionable, and it works because Cabernet gives structure and a leafy edge while Shiraz fills the middle palate. Each parcel was fermented separately in open-top stainless steel with regular pump-overs and plunging.
The producer
Willunga 100
View all Willunga 100 winesWillunga 100 is a McLaren Vale label with a single-minded devotion to Grenache, the grape that thrives in the warm, maritime-cooled vineyards of this celebrated South Australian region. It has become one of the most exciting names for the variety in the country.
The focus is on old bush vines and distinctive sub-districts, above all the sandy soils of Blewitt Springs, which lend Grenache a remarkable perfume and silky elegance. Single-vineyard bottlings showcase each site's character.
From the bright, juicy McLaren Vale Grenache to the perfumed single-vineyard wines of Blewitt Springs and Clarendon, plus a peppery Shiraz and a fresh Grenache rosé, the range celebrates the region's warm generosity with real finesse.
Perfumed, silky and full of sunshine, these are wines that show Grenache at its most beguiling. Discover the heart of McLaren Vale.
