Hugh Hamilton The Black Sheep Mclaren Vale Shiraz 2023

This is the entry point McLaren Vale Shiraz from a fifth-generation family. They have a knack for naming wines and making good ones. This one was a cancelled export, hence the ridiculous price. It's juicy full of violets, fresh red berries, milk chocolate and a lush, fleshy palate that doesn't ask much of you. Easy to like, hard to put down.

Tasting Notes

Lifted fruit and florals. Violets, rose notes, baskets of fresh berries. Lithe layers underlie ample red fruit; pretty pink ladies, milk chocolate, and cherry wood flitter from the glass. These all follow through to the palate, true to the nose. Fleshy and lush all the way along. Lengthy rolling fruit and generous throughout.

Product Highlights

The 2023 Hugh Hamilton “The Black Sheep” McLaren Vale Shiraz was destined for markets beyond our shores. We have been lucky to secure stock of the wine for our customers. This wine is for the drinker that enjoys a plush, fruit-forward Shiraz with both generosity and finesse. It delivers lifted aromas of violets, rose and fresh berries, followed by a palate of ripe plum, blackberry and cherry wrapped in hints of milk chocolate and subtle spice. Soft, flowing tannins and a fleshy texture make it approachable and smooth, while still carrying enough structure to feel complete and satisfying.

A good value Shiraz

"This is a young shiraz but already drinks well. Good fruit, acids and tannins well balanced… has some cellaring potential 👍🏼🙂"

Good first impression

"The 2023 Black Sheep Shiraz has dark berry flavour with firm tannins. The flavour lingers for a while. About a 3. 8 star rating from me. Could go up a point or two with some time in the cellar"
