Shingleback Davey Estate Single Vineyard Shiraz 2020
Shingleback Davey Estate Single Vineyard Shiraz is a rich, expressive red from one of McLaren Vale's most celebrated family estates, crafted from a single vineyard parcel within the Davey Estate farm to capture the authentic character and enduring essence of this exceptional South Australian wine region. Why You'll Love It Shingleback's Single Vineyard range is all about place. By sourcing fruit from a single, carefully selected parcel within the Davey Estate, winemaker John Davey is able to highlight the unique influence of soil and microclimate on the wine, producing a Shiraz of real depth, complexity, and regional identity. McLaren Vale is one of Australia's great Shiraz regions, and this is a textbook expression of why, rich, structured, and beautifully crafted at a price that over-delivers on quality. Vineyard & Production Fruit is sourced from a single vineyard parcel within the Davey Estate in McLaren Vale, South Australia. Grapes are fermented in open fermenters with controlled pump-overs to gently extract colour and flavour while avoiding bitter tannins. After pressing, the wine is matured for 12 months in oak hogsheads, 10% new, with 70% French oak and 30% American oak, with the balance aged in older French barrels. Individual barrel selection ensures a carefully crafted and harmonious final blend. Tasting Notes Deep red with hints of purple. Intense aromas of blackberry, dark plum and violet, layered with mocha, black pepper and subtle oak. The palate is rich and full-bodied, with fine tannins, balanced acidity and a long, elegant finish that reflects the character of the vineyard and region. Perfect Pairings A natural partner for roast lamb, beef short rib, and slow-braised red meats. Also excellent with roast chicken, pancetta, and rich, savoury dishes. Grape Variety Shiraz 100%
