Battle of Bosworth Shiraz 2022 from McLaren Vale is a quintessential Vale red – organic, generous and plush, with plenty of flavour yet a nice line of freshness so it doesn’t feel over the top. Battle of Bosworth Shiraz 2022 typically delivers ripe blackberry and plum with dark cherry, hints of licorice, baking spice and a touch of chocolate and earth, all wrapped in a smooth, medium‑ to full‑bodied frame. Tannins are ripe and velvety, acidity is moderate, and the finish is long, dark‑fruited and savoury, making it very easy to enjoy now.

On the table, it’s a natural with grilled steaks, lamb chops, snags, slow‑cooked beef or a hearty pasta ragù, where the fruit and spice match richness perfectly. It’s also cracking with burgers, pizza and hard cheeses, making it a reliable “house Shiraz” for cooler nights and Sunday roasts. A quick splash in a jug or decanter helps the fruit and spice really pop.

For customers who love classic McLaren Vale Shiraz but prefer something organically grown and not excessively oaky, this hits the mark – flavoursome, comforting and familiar, with enough structure to feel serious while remaining seriously drinkable over the next five or so years.
