Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Deep crimson in color, this wine exhibits typical Shirvington Shiraz characters, with its intense fragrant and perfumed aromas. Violets, blackberry, smoky oak and dark chocolate all mingle together forming a complex bouquet. The palate follows suit with juicy red currants and black cherries integrated with the silky, savory tannins. Layers of vibrant fruit, spice and licorice are supported by the floral notes that drive through from the mid- to back-palate and truly lift the finish.

Professional Ratings

  • 94
    The 2009 Shiraz was 100% barrel fermented and aged for 17 months in 60% new oak (65% French and 35% American). Very deep purple-black colored, it reveals aromas of creme de cassis, blackberry compote, dried mulberries and spice cake with underlying hints of cinnamon stick, toast, anise, cedar and sandalwood. The palate is very full bodied and voluptuous, packed with warm blackberry and spice flavors and supported with refreshing acid and a firm level of grainy tannins. The finish is long and complex with some youthful oakiness. It should drink best 2013 to 2021+.

Shirvington, Australia
Shirvington Shirvington Harvester at Dawn Winery Image

Shirvington started in 1996 when the family purchased 16 hectares of prime land in Willunga (now known as White’s Valley), South Australia. Willunga is just south of McLaren Vale on the Fleurieu Peninsula, an area internationally renowned for its red wines.

In the winter of 1996 work began on the development of the first vineyard, Redwind, where we planted Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot (since replaced with Mataro) vines. Their aim was to grow grapes to produce super-premium, honest wines with full fruit flavour, and to build a strong and thriving Australian brand, respected as a leader in quality, consistency and value to the consumer.

They have since established vineyards in other parts of McLaren Vale, with additional Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Grenache vines. Only the best Redwind Vineyard grapes are pressed for the wines, the excess fruit is sold to other quality winemakers.

Sustainable farming practices are used in their vineyards. Each vintage is closely monitored right through to the hand selection of the fruit before harvest. The quality of fruit is such that their first commercial release, the 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon, was awarded Wine of the Year (The Bushing Trophy) at the prestigious McLaren Vale Wine Show. Subsequent vintages of the Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz have gone on to further accolades nationally and internationally.

Marked by an unmistakable deep purple hue and savory aromatics, Syrah makes an intense, powerful and often age-worthy red. Native to the Northern Rhône, Syrah achieves its maximum potential in the steep village of Hermitage and plays an important component in the Red Rhône Blends of the south, adding color and structure to Grenache and Mourvèdre. Syrah is the most widely planted grape of Australia and is important in California and Washington. Sommelier Secret—Such a synergy these three create together, the Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre trio often takes on the shorthand term, “GSM.”

Known for opulent red wines with intense power and concentration, McLaren Vale is home to perhaps the most “classic” style of Australian Shiraz. Vinified on its own or in Rhône Blends, these hot-climate wines are deeply colored and high in extract with signature hints of dark chocolate and licorice. Cabernet Sauvignon is also produced in a similar style.

Whites, often made from Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc tend to be opulent and full of tropical, stone and citrus fruit.
