McLaren Vale Reds Showcase

Love McLaren Vale reds? You’re in the right place. In this new showcase you'll enjoy 12 delicious red favourites today from your favourite hunting ground for $18.99 a bottle – and save $114! McLaren Vale continues to be one of our very favourite hunting grounds anywhere in world. The region boasts a rich diversity of soil types, and a Mediterranean-style climate that benefits from plenty of sunshine and ocean breezes. It’s packed with quality-focussed producers – so many of them dedicated to making the winegrowing sustainable – and making a fabulous array of delicious small volume gems from a wide range of favourite varieties. On display here is a very impressive, succulent Shiraz double act of mighty Blackstrap – named after the locally produced blackstrap molasses – and local celebrity The Black Pig – on Gold-winning form for the fourth year running now. Cabernet fans are in for a treat as the Marauding Vintners bring 91pt Captain Cabernet to the table, and there’s a fabulous value cleanskin, delivering top-quality fruit from a secret 5 Red Star Halliday-rated estate (that must remain nameless). Cabernet Malbec is a blend that’s really taking off. The Strout Road Vintners’ distinctively labelled red (sTROUT Rd) is beautifully plush, with juicy blueberry-rich Malbec surrounded by dark, cassis-laden Cabernet. The region is also home to arguably Australia’s finest Grenache, and the consistent Richard Hamilton estate shows the variety off to great effect in its deliciously smooth 91pt Colton’s GSM.
