McLaren Vale GI Shiraz Blewitt Springs 2021 Penley Estate

Penley Blewitt Springs Shiraz is a red wine made from Shiraz grapes grown in the McLaren Vale region, specifically in the cooler, more elevated subdistrict of Blewitt Springs. This wine represents a fragrant and vibrant expression of the terroir, characterized by a juicy and spicy fruit profile.

Winemaking involves a combination of whole-cluster fermentation and gentle cap management, followed by aging in seasoned oak barrels to promote the wine's fruity, juicy profile. This process gives the wine a medium structure and balanced complexity.

On the nose, the Penley Blewitt Springs Shiraz offers aromas of blackberry and wild herbs. On the palate, it is juicy, meaty and vibrant, with silky tannins and a refreshing brightness. The finish is spicy and fragrant, with a note of purple fruit.

This Shiraz pairs perfectly with grilled red meats and mature cheeses.
