Pertaringa Over the Top Shiraz 2024 from Bec Hardy in McLaren Vale is a bold, flagship Shiraz that lives up to its name, overflowing with dark fruit, spice and luxurious texture in the glass. This Pertaringa ‘Over the Top’ Shiraz 2024 is all about depth, richness and classic South Australian Shiraz swagger.

Expect a flood of blackberry, black cherry and ripe plum wrapped in dark chocolate, liquorice, mocha and baking spice, with hints of violet and cedar from quality French oak. The palate is full‑bodied and plush, layered with dense dark fruit, pepper and mocha, framed by velvety yet firm tannins and a long, powerful, savoury finish built to age.

On the table, it’s a natural with char‑grilled rib‑eye, slow‑roasted lamb shoulder, rich beef cheeks, osso buco or smoky barbecued brisket. It also sings alongside mature cheddar, aged gouda or a truffle‑laced hard cheese, and will reward a decent decant or a few years tucked away in the cellar.
