Crown & Anchor McLaren Vale Shiraz 2023 Dozen

The Crown & Anchor McLaren Vale Shiraz 2023 is a bold, expressive red crafted from a single vineyard in the heart of McLaren Vale. This limited edition release, featuring hand-crafted screen-printed labels, is a striking showcase of rich regional character and exceptional winemaking. In the glass, it displays a deep crimson core with purple hues. The nose is immediately engaging, offering black and blue fruits, violets, ripe plum, and black olive, wrapped in subtle layers of oak spice. The palate follows with intensity and finesse, revealing generous notes of mulberry, blueberry, and dark chocolate, beautifully balanced by a savoury edge and finely integrated oak. What sets this vintage apart is its remarkable structure and length—thanks to plush tannins, precise acidity, and a voluptuous, spice-laced finish. This bright, lush Shiraz is already a critical darling, having earned a 95 Point Rating & Gold Medal from Wine Showcase Magazine, and a 94 Point Rating for its concentration and regional authenticity. Ideal pairings include braised beef cheeks, lamb with rosemary and garlic, grilled portobello mushrooms, or a charcuterie board with aged cheddar and black olives. Whether served at a dinner party or enjoyed fireside, this wine delivers luxury in every sip.
