MMAD Vineyard, Shiraz 2021

Place: McLaren Vale, Australia

Grape: Shiraz

Vibe: Classic, richer

Shiraz, from a team that know a bit about making decent Shiraz, so this was always going to be up there. Again, beautiful. It's unashamedly what it is, that's for sure, with fullness and dark-fruited complexity. But what it isn't at all is tiresome, there's ample finesse, ample freshness and development in the glass that has you begging to be allowed another look. One for now, and later. ABV: 13.5%
