2022 Lino Ramble Treadlie Shiraz, McLaren Vale

This is made without oak and is taken off skins swiftly to make an approachable style of shiraz. That said, and with lower alcohol, there’s still plenty of flavour punch, with comfortably dark fruits allied with bright, red-berried ones, some anise-like spice, mulchy forest floor, scrubby herbs and a tapenade saline thing carrying across the palate. It’s bright but deceptively complex, and a wine of character.

'Our sixth version of this wine. As always we are chasing a fresh fruit-driven easy drinking style. Shiraz in it’s youth can have quite an “edgy” tannin structure, so we kept the skin contact time to just 5 days during fermentation. The addition of Bastardo gives this unique blend lift and pop, but also helps to soften the finish too.'

Lino Ramble Treadlie Shiraz from McLaren Vale is the wine equivalent of strapping on a leather jacket, hopping on your vintage bike, and roaring down a sun-drenched country road—with style, of course. Lino Ramble, known for their fun, creative approach to winemaking, brings you this Shiraz that’s as bold and cool as a café racer, but with a soft side that shows it’s more than just a rebel without a cause.

Treadlie Shiraz revs up your senses with aromas of ripe blackberry, dark plum, and a dash of peppery spice—like taking a whiff of fresh road tar (in the best way possible). You’ll also catch a hint of chocolate and a whisper of violet, just to remind you that beneath its rough-and-tumble exterior, it’s actually a total softie. On the palate, it’s a smooth ride—rich, juicy, and full-bodied, with silky tannins that hug your taste buds like a well-worn leather seat. Flavors of black fruit, licorice, and a little touch of earthy goodness keep things interesting, all leading to a finish that lingers longer than a sunset on a perfect summer evening.

Whether you’re cruising through a backyard barbecue, kicking back with a steak, or just looking to rev up a Tuesday night, this Shiraz has your back. It’s built for those who love a bit of adventure but still appreciate a comfy, tasty ending.
