This 750ml bottle is a testament to the art of winemaking, showcasing the richness and complexity that Shiraz has to offer.

As you pour, the wine reveals a striking maroon color with a subtle red brick hue, hinting at its maturity and depth. The nose is a sophisticated tapestry of aromas that captivates the senses, featuring prominent notes of red berries and blackcurrant, beautifully interwoven with hints of licorice, dried leaves, and a touch of smoky oak spice.

On the palate, the McNicol Mithell Shiraz unfolds with a savory yet fruit-filled profile. Succulent and luscious flavors of blackcurrant and red berry dance alongside vibrant acidity, creating a harmonious balance. The wine builds in intensity, supported by fine, stony tannins that lend texture and elegance. The finish is equally intriguing, leaving a lingering impression of earthy notes reminiscent of native dried twigs.

With an alcohol level of 14.5%, this Shiraz is a splendid choice for any wine lover looking to indulge. It drinks beautifully now but holds the potential to mature further, allowing for cellaring between 3 to 5 years. Ideal for pairing with lamb dishes, the McNicol Mithell Shiraz enhances the rich flavors of your meal, making it a perfect companion for both casual gatherings and special occasions. Experience the essence of Margaret River with each sip of this exceptional vintage.
