Chapel Hill Bushard Vineyard Shiraz

McLaren Vale, Australia

Single-vineyard McLaren Vale Shiraz from centenarian vines in the Bushard Vineyard — one of the oldest continuously harvested Shiraz sites in Australia. Deeply concentrated blackberry, dark chocolate, licorice, and leather with characteristic McLaren Vale richness. Aged 18 months in French oak (40% new). An extraordinary quality-to-value proposition that rewards 5-10 years of cellaring.
