Shottesbrooke ‘Clements Brook’Grenache Shiraz Mataro 2022, McLaren Vale
Deep crimson with bright ruby edges. The nose opens with ripe raspberry, dark cherry and blackberry. Fragrant red fruit provides lift, while darker berry and earthy, savoury notes give depth.
Medium- to full-bodied, the palate shows juicy red berries and dark plum across a generous, textured mid-palate. Rustic tannins offer structure and fresh acidity keeps the fruit lively, with a long solid finish of raspberry, blackberry and meaty spices lingering.
A well-balanced McLaren Vale GSM with character, texture and persistent dark-fruit interest; approachable now yet structured enough to cellar for ten years.
Vino Masters Score: 96/100 ★★★★★ The blend balances Grenache’s charm with Shiraz richness and Mataro’s distinctive savoury meaty character. Nicely done!
