‘The McLaren Vale’ Shiraz
‘The McLaren Vale’ Shiraz
The 2023 vintage is sourced from a single vineyard on the gentle eastern slopes of McLaren Vale. The vineyard first planted in 1992, produces distinct wines of place. The fruit was picked using a selective harvester in the early hours of the morning, before fermentation on skins in small open fermenters for two weeks. The skins were pressed and the resulting wine put to barrel in seasoned French oak barriques and hogsheads for 12 months before bottling
A lush medium bodied wine with juicy plum and chocolate coated coffee beans on the palate brightened by a solid backbone of supporting acidity and ripe, spicy characters. A hint of earthy truffles. Perfect for your next barbecue or steak night.
Very attractive black and blue berry nose with some red flowers character. Lovely slippery tannin and silky texture. Full and rich.
94 POINTS - DECANTER WORLD WINE AWARDS 2025 (2022 VINTAGE)
Located where the vines stretch to the shore, McLaren Vale is one of the most geologically diverse terrains in the world.
The origin of South Australia’s wine industry, it boasts a pristine natural environment and is best known for Shiraz, and more recently, Grenache. Summers here are hot and dry, but the ocean has an air conditioning-like effect on both the maritime, cool-climate wines and the visitors that drink them.
Behind the Label
The RockBare labels pay homage to the land from where our vineyards stand today. The eclectic illustrations by Craig McGill and Susan Elliott tell a story of local regional landmarks, the history of winemaking in South Australia, and local fauna. They are playfully curious, extravagant, and thoughtful.
