J and J Wines Rivers Lane Organic Shiraz 2022 from McLaren Vale is a rich, ripe and robust single‑vineyard Shiraz, organically grown on the family’s Rivers Lane estate on the edge of the Vale with classic regional power and warmth.

In the glass you’re looking at deep, dark red with bold aromas of Christmas cake, dark cherry, blackberry, liquorice, spice and roasted nuts, with meaty, peppery notes adding savoury lift. The palate is muscular and full‑bodied, delivering succulent, dark ripe fruits with chocolate, clove and spice, firm yet long tannins and plenty of tension through the finish – big, hearty, and built to satisfy lovers of powerful McLaren Vale Shiraz.

Food‑wise, J&J Rivers Lane Organic Shiraz 2022 is made for Scotch fillet with peppercorn sauce, chargrilled steaks, slow‑cooked beef cheeks or lamb shanks where its richness and spice can really shine. It will also handle meaty pizzas, BBQ ribs, peppered kangaroo and strong, aged cheddar or blue cheese with ease, and will drink well over the next five plus years.
