A classic fruit-driven Barossa Valley Shiraz, this wine showcases lifted notes of blackberry plums. This full bodied wine has rich black fruits at the fore with hints of chocolate and sweet spice. The palate is rich and unctuous with velvety tannins with an elegant yet lengthy finish.
94 Point Rated - Jeni Port Halliday Wine Companion
"McGuigan may be intrinsically associated with the Hunter Valley, but it does spread its wings far and wide across the Australian winescape. Here, it looks to the Barossa for a different style of shiraz for its The Shortlist portfolio. Barossa power and oomph is here from the word go. Toast, roasted nuts, vanilla pod, intense blackberry pastille, clove, licorice and more on the nose. This is a big wine, a tad extractive, that wears its 16 months in new French and American oak with pride. McGuigan came to the Barossa, it saw, it conquered."
