Battle of Bosworth ‘Puritan’ Shiraz 2024 from McLaren Vale is a bright, juicy preservative‑free red that puts pure, vibrant fruit front and centre with no oak getting in the way. This Battle of Bosworth ‘Puritan’ Shiraz 2024 is all about blackberries, dark cherry and plum with a ripple of violets, soft spice and just a hint of earth, sitting in a medium‑bodied, super‑supple frame. The palate is dry, plush and fresh, with gentle tannins, lively acidity and a clean, moreish finish that makes it dangerously easy to drink.

Food‑wise, it’s perfect with burgers, pizza, barbequed sausages, char‑grilled chicken or a mid‑week pasta with tomato or meat ragù – anything relaxed and tasty where you want a generous red that doesn’t feel heavy. It also works a treat with charcuterie and hard cheeses, making it a cracking “house Shiraz” for casual nights and social get‑togethers. Serve with a light chill in warmer weather to really highlight the brightness of the fruit.

For customers chasing a flavoursome but fresher‑feeling Shiraz, this hits the mark – certified organic, no added preservative, no oak and loads of drinkability, ideal for those who find traditional McLaren Vale styles a bit too rich or oaky. It’s the kind of bottle you open without overthinking and happily share across the table.
