Cape Barren Old Vine Shiraz 2021 by Cape Barren Wines from McLaren Vale is a powerful and beautifully structured wine crafted from low-yielding old vines. It opens with enticing aromas of blackberry, plum and dark chocolate, lifted by subtle notes of pepper and cedar spice. The palate is rich and concentrated, showcasing layers of black fruit, mocha and fine-grained tannins that glide through to a long, savoury finish.

This Cape Barren Old Vine Shiraz 2021 is a benchmark example of McLaren Vale intensity – bold yet impeccably balanced. It’s a superb match for hearty dishes such as grilled ribeye steak, braised lamb shanks or slow-cooked beef brisket, where the wine’s depth and spice complement the richness of the food. Decant for an hour before serving to allow the flavours to unfold fully. A wine of genuine pedigree and character, built to impress both now and with age.
