Bec Hardy Wines Shiraz McLaren Vale
A vibrant full-bodied wine with black cherries, blackcurrants and brambles. It has a grainy texture with good acidity and bitter fruits on the finish. Delicious to drink now, it has potential for keeping. Produced from a number of blocks of Shiraz in McLaren Flat, Blewitt Springs and Kangarilla. It was part aged with new oak for 18 months.

Bec Hardy Wines Reserve Shiraz McLaren Vale
2019 Reserve Shiraz is supple and rich, although the nose is a little closed at present. Well balanced with sour and bitter cherries on the finish. The 2019 growing season started with mild weather but lower than average rainfall. Late-spring rain brought some relief and a heat wave in January was too early in the season to cause any damage. The Reserve was produced from the best parcels of Shiraz – these were matured in oak with 40% new oak hogsheads and 60% older oak.
