Crimson Monster McLaren Vale Shiraz 2022

Crimson Monster creates monstrously rich and full bodied wines sourced from low-yielding, established vineyards located in some of South Australia’s finest regions such as McLaren Vale and Coonawarra.

Thick gnarled old vines produce tiny berries of incredible intensity that is harnessed by careful winemaking and partial maturation in large seasoned oak barrels to deliver wonderfully opulent and mouth-coating flavours.

This is a real stonker offering enormous value. Big, gutsy and full of rich berry fruits, the body and weight is superb, and a real credit to the McLaren Vale terroir and talented winemaking team. The 'Jammy Beastie' Shiraz exudes blackberry, mocha, white pepper and mixed spice flavours, with well integrated vanilla oak characters and fine tannins. Enjoy now - 2028, with a big steak, any game meats and good friends. 14% ABV.
