Secret Deal McLaren Vale Shiraz 2021 is a masterful expression of old vine elegance and meticulous winemaking. Handpicked from 80-year-old vines, the Shiraz grapes undergo a gentle destemming process followed by a 14-day cold soak on skins. This careful approach ensures a slow extraction of vibrant color and silky tannins, setting the stage for a wine with remarkable depth and structure.

Fermentation continues slowly for another 14 days, allowing the flavors to develop fully before the wine is gently pressed into a blend of French and American oak barrels. Over the next 24 months, the wine matures gracefully, integrating complex layers into a harmonious and flavorful profile.

The resulting bouquet features enticing aromas of ripe red berries, vanilla, and coconut, inviting you into a full-bodied palate rich with a complex mix of flavors. Expect luscious notes of red berries, chocolate, spice, and a subtle oak sweetness that balances beautifully with the wine’s well-integrated tannins. The finish is long, silky, and refined, making it a standout example of McLaren Vale Shiraz.
