Pertaringa Undercover Shiraz 2023 from McLaren Vale is a rich and generous wine bursting with dense dark plum, blackberry, and vibrant cherry flavors. The nose offers oak spice with hints of coffee grinds, mocha, cocoa powder, and dried herbs like soy and cloves. On the palate, it’s full-bodied and velvety-smooth, with plush tannins and a seamless texture leading to a long, juicy finish. This wine shows great balance between ripe fruit and savory spice, making it a compelling and approachable Shiraz.

It pairs beautifully with hearty dishes such as beef and venison, where its richness complements the meat while its acidity cuts through fattier textures. Crafted from three vineyards including the historically significant Lower Tintara, with over a year in a mix of new and old French oak, this wine combines tradition, finesse, and value in every bottle. It has earned 93 points from critics and promises 8–10 years of aging potential.
