This limited-edition Reserve Shiraz, sourced exclusively from the esteemed Sands Vineyard on the Hastwell & Lightfoot estate, has been aged with a masterful blend of French and American oak. The result is a wine of remarkable elegance, with refined tannins and a lingering finish. Enjoy it now or indulge in the rewards of careful long-term cellaring. Part of Hastwell & Lightfoot's premium Single Vineyard Series.
Deep and near-opaque garnet with a dark ruby rim, this McLaren Vale Shiraz opens with an aromatic, complex bouquet of ripe black cherries, mulberries, and dark plums, layered with warm earth, old leather, cloves, dried sage, and subtle mocha. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied, delivering a seamless, mouth-filling rush of primary blackberry and plum flavours balanced by rich dark chocolate, anise, and a touch of regional savoury complexity. A fine, lively line of acidity cuts beautifully through the rich fruit, supported by sleek, sinewy tannins that provide excellent structural integrity before culminating in a long, persistent finish marked by a sophisticated touch of bitter cocoa.
95 Point Rated & 5 Stars Sam Kim Wine Orbit
“This is immediately appealing on the nose, showing blackberry, violet, thyme, clove and stylish oak aromas. The palate delivers excellent weight and silky flow, splendidly supported by refined texture and layers of polished tannins, making it structured and robust with a persistent, complex finish. At its best: now to 2038.”
94 Point Rated Ken Gargett Wine Pilot
“A near opaque maroon hue here, this wine has an utterly gorgeous nose, so beautifully aromatic. Ripe with chocolate notes and a hint of bitter almond right at the finish. Black fruits, cloves, mulberries and mocha. There is good length and fine tannins, even a hint of vegemite evident. A wine with persistence. Drink over the next eight to ten years.”
94 Point Rated Ray Jordan Wine Pilot
“This is a most stylish wine from this very good vintage. It’s from McLaren Vale and has received a combination of American and French oak. The red fruits of shiraz are sprinkled with a mix of sage and other dried herbs while a little leafy character sits in the background. Tannins are sinewy and slightly firm while the oak adds further support and structure.”
