Shiraz is a great tradition in McLaren Vale, dating back to the 1850's.Lloyd Reserve Shiraz is produced from a single vineyard at Coriole that was planted in 1919 and the first wine released in 1989.
97yo vines, hand-picked, destemmed, open-fermented with cultured yeast, 12 days on skins, matured in French oak (20-30% new) for 20 months. What a treasure trove the McLaren Vale has with vines/grapes/wines coming from ancient vines that signal all is well. The strength of the message is so powerful and clear you wonder why the Scarce Earth programme occupies such effort and time, unfairly taking attention away from the glory of wines such as this.
James Halliday Wine Companion
The swagger and the silk. This marries an exaggerated volume of inky, berried flavour with the surest, softest touch, the end result guaranteed to both seduce and satisfy. This is shiraz to the power of ten, and yet for all its sweetness and wealth it never really feels overdone. Such is class.
