Cape Barren ‘Rare Bird’ Shiraz 2021, McLaren Vale

Cape Barren Rare Bird Shiraz 2021, McLaren Vale

This is one of those wines that stops you in your tracks.

The 2021 Rare Bird Shiraz is an absolute stunner. Deep ruby with a dense, inky core, it explodes with rich aromas of blackberry, ripe plum and dark chocolate, all wrapped up with warm spice, cedar and beautifully integrated oak.

On the palate it’s full-bodied and seriously powerful. Concentrated dark berry fruit charges through, backed by firm, structured tannins that give it real backbone. The mid-palate is rich and multi-layered with impressive depth and complexity, leading to a long, bold, and exceptionally well-integrated finish.

This is a big, confident McLaren Vale Shiraz with power, polish and serious ageing potential. It’s the kind of wine that demands attention ….. and another glass.

Vino Masters Score: 96/100
