Hastwell & Lightfoot ‘Sands of Time’ Shiraz 2021, McLaren Vale

Hastwell & Lightfoot ‘Sands of Time’ Shiraz 2021, McLaren Vale

Deep crimson with a dark purple core. Blackberry, black cherry and ripe plum lead the way, joined by dark chocolate and a measured touch of cedar and spice. The palate is rich and generous. Dark fruit, mocha and savoury spice are shaped by fine tannins, fresh acidity and well-judged oak. The maturation in American and French oak provides immaculate structure, with the amazing depth to develop further in the bottle, just like the ‘sands of time’.

Vino Masters Score: 95/100 ★★★★★ A powerful McLaren Vale Shiraz which takes you to the land and the place.
