The Crown & Anchor McLaren Vale Shiraz 2023 is a bold, expressive red crafted from a single vineyard in the heart of McLaren Vale. This limited edition release, featuring hand-crafted screen-printed labels, is a striking showcase of rich regional character and exceptional winemaking.
In the glass, it displays a deep crimson core with purple hues. The nose is immediately engaging, offering black and blue fruits, violets, ripe plum, and black olive, wrapped in subtle layers of oak spice. The palate follows with intensity and finesse, revealing generous notes of mulberry, blueberry, and dark chocolate, beautifully balanced by a savoury edge and finely integrated oak.
What sets this vintage apart is its remarkable structure and length—thanks to plush tannins, precise acidity, and a voluptuous, spice-laced finish. This bright, lush Shiraz is already a critical darling, having earned a 95 Point Rating & Gold Medal from Wine Showcase Magazine, and a 94 Point Rating for its concentration and regional authenticity.
Ideal pairings include braised beef cheeks, lamb with rosemary and garlic, grilled portobello mushrooms, or a charcuterie board with aged cheddar and black olives. Whether served at a dinner party or enjoyed fireside, this wine delivers luxury in every sip.
95 Point Rated - Australian Wine Showcase Magazine
"The nose is distinctive, fragrant, and spicy. The palate is underscored by sweet, luscious dark fruits, oak, chocolate, and spice. There is excellent overall balance and a lovely, firm texture."
94 Point Rated & 5 Star Rated - Sam Kim Wine Orbit
“It's richly fruited and opulent, showing dark fruit intensity, dried herb, fine leather and toasty oak characters on the nose. The palate is wonderfully generous with an abundance of ripe fruit flavours with spicy/savoury nuances. It's mouthfilling and delectable with a persistent, gutsy finish. At its best: now to 2037. $90.00.”
