2018 Seville Estate Dr McMahon Shiraz 750ml

James Halliday – "This flagship shiraz comes via hand-picked fruit, 100% whole bunches, wild fermented and matured 10 months in 2 new French oak puncheons. While it's not a blockbuster, it is built to age. The oak is overt, needing to settle, so it's somewhat smoky and meaty. Yet allowing it to breathe reveals a core of dark fruit, all spicy and peppery, with textural, slightly drying tannins. It is savoury, complex and will reward the patient drinker." Jane Faulkner

Tasting Notes

A great vintage for Shiraz. The wine shows great depth of flavour and tannins that we haven’t seen for some time. The tannins are now softening, and the wine is now showing more complex fruit characters, spice and savouriness.
