Tasting Notes

Intensely dark reds circled by hints of purple hues. Lifted mature aromas of cedary oak with pronounced forest berry fruits and complex chocolate and leathery afternotes. A complex and well-developed palate displaying refined mulberry and chocolate flavours lend to the long, smooth savoury finish.

Product Highlights

From humble beginnings in 1966, the Di Fabio family has been shaping McLaren Vales' winemaking landscape for generations, supplying fruit to D’Arenberg, Geoff Merrill, and other premium wineries.

Their old-vine Shiraz (dating back to 1936) is always impressive, and their Grand Reserve is no exception, packed with power, richness, and complexity.

A Wine Collective exclusive - it's rich, plush, and layered with dark chocolate, dark berry spice, and oodles of American oak, delivering that retro-contemporary McLaren Vale magic.

Don't believe the hype? Just look at the lineup of critic scores - 97 from Ray Jordan, 97 from Sam Kim, 96 from Ken Gargett. This is a 10/10 Vale vintage Shiraz, at the prime of its powers.

    Review Title: Lovely drop

    Customer Rating: 5 out of 5 stars (Excellent)

    Customer Feedback:

    Couldn't wait to give this one a try after having tasted the wonderful 2020 vintage. In my view 2020 is a better wine. However having said that the 2021 vintage has all the hallmarks of getting much better with the benefit of extra time in the cellar. Lovely drop now but will reward further with patience.

    Customer Feedback:

    Excellent value at the discounted price. Superb nose, fruity with that higher level of complexity and subtlety you get with French oak (I think).\n\nLovely rounded wine with the balance to develop but very drinkable now with soft tannins and good length.
