Heirloom Vineyards McLaren Vale Shiraz 2020 is a masterful expression of old vine Shiraz, sourced from the McMurtrie Family’s low yielding vineyards adjacent to the historic Salopian Inn. Hand tended with meticulous care, each bunch is sorted to ensure only the finest fruit is naturally open fermented. The winemaking process includes regular hand plunging and gentle pumping over, expertly extracting vibrant colour, complex flavour, and refined tannins.

This Shiraz is aged for 16 months predominantly in 3 and 4 year-old French and Bulgarian oak barriques, with a small portion in new oak, lending a balanced structure and subtle oak influence that enhances the wine’s depth and elegance.

Shiraz can be a simple sip or a symphony of the senses, a moment of pleasure or an eternity of contemplation. This wine invites you to surrender to its layered complexity and rich character.
