Reynella Basket Pressed Shiraz 2021 from McLaren Vale is a classic South Australian shiraz – inky, rich and proudly old‑school, drawing on historic cellars and traditional basket pressing to deliver depth, polish and serious cellar potential. It’s a big, satisfying red that still shows admirable balance and poise.

The nose is saturated with dark cherry, blackberry and plum, backed by licorice, dark chocolate and freshly ground coffee. The palate follows through with concentrated blackberry, blueberry, raspberry and plum, layered with black olive, dark chocolate and licorice, all wrapped in velvety tannins, impressive persistence and that hallmark McLaren Vale fullness.

Reynella Basket Pressed Shiraz 2021 loves hearty fare – think pepper‑crusted ribeye, slow‑roasted lamb shoulder, rich beef stews or barbecued lamb chops. It will also sit beautifully alongside char‑grilled vegetables, aged cheddar or a strong vintage gouda, and has the structure to develop gracefully in the cellar for well over a decade.
