Winemaker Notes

Intense inky purple with bright magenta hues in the glass. Classic McLaren Vale aromas of blackberries, bitter chocolate, and liquorice are perfectly help by carefully utilized French oak. The palate follows on from the initial aromas and is rich and full, with the abundant fruit flavors given structure by soft tannins. The finish is long and rewarding as one would expect from a wine of such pedigree.

    A real stand-up wine, the 2012 Angove Family Winemakers The Medhyk is a well-built Shiraz. Serious stuff, here, make no mistake about that, this wine stays strong and rich on the palate; loaded with gorgeous black fruit and sweet oak. A wine for real red wine lovers. (Best Served: 2014-2020)

    The Angove family has made a real commitment to its prestige wine portfolio, and this Shiraz represents that new level of quality. It's ripe without being over the top, marrying ripeness and supple tannins with savory notes of tar and espresso. Drink now–2025, possibly beyond.

Angove Family Winemakers, Australia
Angove Family Winemakers Exterior Tasting Room Winery Image

The Angove family company, Angove's Pty. Ltd., ranks among Australia's largest privately owned wine companies and stands as one of the few with strong interests in distilling as well as grape growing and winemaking.

His early experimentation with vines, winemaking and distilling, led to the establishment of a proud family business. Dr. Angove's initial plantings at the township of Tea Tree Gully in the Adelaide foothills were the forerunner of one of the largest vineyards in the southern hemisphere - the magnificent Nanya Vineyard at Renmark in South Australia's Murray Valley.

Since World War II, the company has steadily expanded its operations and structure. Their Renmark facility has grown to become a major winemaking and distilling enterprise, with storage capacity for more than15 million litres of wine and spirit. In 1947, Thomas William Carlyon Angove, grandson of the founder, took the helm as Managing Director, beginning a new era in development.

In 1983, the fourth generation of the family took control, when John Carlyon Angove succeeded his father as Managing Director of the company.

The success of the Angove's identity owes a great deal to a pioneering spirit. The same urge that drove Dr. Angove to leave his home in Cornwall and emigrate to Australia is evident in many of the developments the company has taken since.

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.
