TASTING NOTES

Adelina Estate Shiraz 2022 is a masterful expression of Clare Valley’s renowned terroir, crafted from vines that are over 100 years old. Grown in ACO certified organic soils composed of red sand, mild clay, slate, and limestone atop a clay base, this Shiraz reflects a unique mineral complexity and pristine purity.

The winemaking process respects tradition and innovation alike: grapes are destemmed with 50% of the berries crushed, followed by fermentation in concrete vats and an extended maceration period of 22 days. The wine then matures for 10 months in 700-liter oak barrels, 22% of which are new, allowing for subtle oak integration that enhances structure without overpowering the vibrant fruit.

This vintage captures the essence of Clare Valley Shiraz at its finest, showcasing deep, rich flavors of blackberry, black pepper, and dark cherry, layered with hints of earth and spice. The palate is full-bodied yet elegant, with velvety tannins and a long, expressive finish that speaks to the vineyard’s heritage and meticulous craftsmanship.

Celebrated as one of the region’s most exceptional Shiraz wines, the Adelina Estate Shiraz 2022 offers a sophisticated balance of power and finesse, making it a standout choice for those seeking a premium, organically grown Australian red wine.

Col McBryde one of the best, most thoughtful winemakers in this country, and indeed, maybe the world. Blackberry, raspberry, a little sweet baking spice, mint and floral perfume, though those things, while good, mean nothing until you put the wine in your mouth; then it really takes off. This is a liquid ‘mineral’ delight, and the tannin is searching, but so fine and stony, and really marks this wine out as a rare bird. Dusty, biscuitty, classic Clare Shiraz of finesse and superb length. Yes.

"This comes from 1915 plantings. On skins for around three weeks in concrete and matures in 700L oak barrels, with around 25% new oak in this wine. Slimline and succulent expression of shiraz, though plenty of meatiness, rich, red berry fruits, woody spices and a strong currency of graphite minerality with an almost river-pebble texture, including the web of lacy, puckering tannin that stretches the wine so long and fine. A touch of rugged undergrowth-like character anchors the wine to Clare. It’s stellar stuff here, elegant but so very detailed in its fruit, spice and savoury elements."
