2021 Mandoon Estate Old Vine Shiraz
Varieties: 100% Shiraz (Old Vines 45 years +)
For lovers of Barossa and McClaren Vale Shiraz, many Swan Valley & Perth Hills Shiraz have a) been mistaken for South Australian Shiraz in blind tastings and b) beaten them out on points on many occasions! The Swan Valley is the hottest wine making climate in Australia (Barossa is the second), so Shiraz doesn’t get much bolder!
Region: Swan Valley & Perth Hills

Cellaring Potential
Will certainly reward 5-10 years in your cellar for those who can wait. If drinking now, decant for 1-2 hours for optimum enjoyment.
