Bold nose full of plummy fruit, spices, smoke and hints of black pepper. Sweet and ripe tannins, racy finish.

Campbell Mattinson - The Wine Front

Sweet, simple, bold flavours of marshmallow, tar, dark chocolate and scorched plums. It delivers flavour and a good deal of it, and it does so in smooth/svelte style, with just a bit of grain. Solid.

James Halliday - Halliday's Wine Companion

Whoa there. Why try to compress so much stuff into a $25 bottle (before discounts)? Great for an evening barbecue, and/or time in the cellar. After that, be prepared.

James Suckling

Fresh and fruity with blackberry, blackcurrant and black licorice on the nose. Medium to full body with lightly sinewy tannins and tangy acidity. Straightforward. Vegan. Drink now. Screw cap.

Tasting Notes

The Gaffer Shiraz is a testament to the best of McLaren Vale. A medium weight Shiraz, the style of The Gaffer is soft, flavoursome, and fruit driven. Distinctive McLaren Vale characteristics shine through with a spine of sweet, soft, warm tannins whilst on the palate is crunchy, bright, red berries.
