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 - Ken Gargett
"An enthralling wine from this vintage from McLaren Vale, it is dark maroon in colour. The nose offers spices, leather, warm earth, dry herbs, mulberries, soy, black fruits and cloves. A mouthfilling style, this is seamless and lingers with intent. A fine line of acidity, it is young but it delivers. It will provide pleasure for ten to fifteen years. There is real power here and no hiccups."
93 Point Rated - Sam Kim Wine Orbit
"Wonderfully fruited and elegantly expressed on the nose, showing blackberry, olive, game and toasted nut characters, followed by a succulent palate displaying plump mouthfeel combined with fleshy texture and fine-grained tannins, finishing long and flavoursome. At its best: now to 2036."
92 Point Rated - Ray Jordan
"A tightly held and controlled wine, that right now is a little shy and coy about letting us know what it’s got. But the old vines which contributed to this wine know their stuff and as it matures will gradually release its potential. Has leafy dusty aromas with a minerally edge. On the palate the dried herb and lifted leafy characters overlay the medium weight fruit. An elegant wine. Cellar: 12 years."
