Cleanskin McLaren Vale Shiraz 2017
McLaren Vale
We love to snap up one-off parcels of premium Aussie wine that need a home. We act fast, get you a great price and a wine with a no-fuss ‘cleanskin’ label. Here’s just that – a sumptuous, big on spice, rip-roaring Shiraz from top region McLaren Vale.
Beyond the Label
Tasting notes
Silky layers of opulent black fruits with a twist of peppery spice
Aroma
Ripe bramble fruits, leather, liquorice and sweet spices
Immensely popular in Australia, cleanskins are an Aussie peculiarity that allows wineries to shift parcels of top drawer wine with minimal labelling. And customers get great wine at very modest prices – it’s top quality juice in the bottle, but no name on the label, just grape, region and vintage. Our Buyer, Dan Parrott, always has an ear to the ground ready to snap up the best deals – and it was only thanks to his network of contacts that he was able to secure this handcrafted beauty. Bold blackberry and spice suggest classic McLaren Vale Shiraz, while rare depth and complexity reflect premium, old vine fruit. A class act, this fine red is ready to be enjoyed now, but is best decanted. It'll cellar well, too. Ideal with a juicy rump steak.
