Tasting Notes:

Opaque purple/black. Concentrated black fruit flavours highlighted by blackberry, plum, dark chocolate and espresso. This wine is much like a perfect storm; Inspiring fear or respect through being impressively large, powerful, intense, capable yet complex and mysterious. The palate is in a word smooth and focused with a big whack of blackberry and plum initially which is woven through the backbone of the wine whilst more subtle notes of dark chocolate, pepper and oak whilst firm tannins provide another layer of complexity right through to the finish.

Technical:

The Perfect Storm Vineyard as we have dubbed it sits high in the McLaren Vale ranges with a perfect vantage point to view the many storms that sweep in from Gulf St Vincent across the McLaren Vale region. We have hand crafted a Shiraz by hand picking fruit, crushing and fermenting in small batches and allowing extended time on skins to ensure luscious fruit flavours prevail. Following on from fermentation the wine was pressed and aged in American barrique barrels for 12 months prior to bottling with minimal filtration. Allow it to breathe if drinking early, this wine is built to last and I expect to be drinking it over the next decade.

Reviews:

The Perfect Storm McLaren Vale Shiraz 2018 is rated 4.4 out of 5 by 32.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Katarina from Good wine Wine great, delivery unsatisfactory needs to be left in safe place if not home. I live by myself and am female with arthritis and cannot lift the box on pick up at post office and they are not helpful

Rated 5 out of 5 by DaviD A from Great Wine at a great price! This wine is another prime example of GWD's ability to provide excellent wine at a very competitive price. I believe that the wine would cellar for at least 6-8 years and would only improve.

Rated 4 out of 5 by rcp1 from Reasonable Shiraz Not a huge Shiraz but good level of body. Minimal tannin so not sure it will improve too much with cellarage, Very drinkable now and much better than your average quaffing wine

Rated 4 out of 5 by Johnny from Eponymous Mouthfull of Flavour This wine has it all if you like a big, bold, complex dry red with a long finish. Lovely now but it will be better and better with a year or two of cellaring, just a wee wee bit young right now but don't let that put you off!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Alan from surprising The title suggests a surprise which was very pleasant. The first drink was soon after the case landed & original thoughts were that I would return the remainder of the case, however, I thought give it another try & did so 3 nights later & the taste, quality improved markedly, so I am keeping the 10 remaining bottles.
