Description
Maxwell Ellen Street shiraz
Colour Deep purple / red in colour.
Nose Aromas of aniseed, blood plum and vanilla bean, dried herbs and cherries.
Palate Shiraz flavours of plum, cherry and liquorice fill the palate, yet more subtle and complex notes fill the flavour spectrum with cinnamon, vanilla, raspberry and a hint of mint. This is a generous mouth filling wine yet refined and elegant with soft velvety tannin to complete this wine.
This is a stately, true example of the grape and the region. Wonderful balance of fruit, oak and tannin.
18 months in new and old oak. Mainly French oak, but some American for complexity
McLaren Vale
Concentrated. Robust. Characterful. The qualities of the winemaker reflect in the quality of the wine. Because every wine that’s made by Maxwell is, indeed, Maxwell-made. The unique result of one man’s vision, tenacity and unbending standards. Since 1979, Mark Maxwell has come to understand the unique terroir of our limestone hill. And extract every characteristic nuance for every estate wine, regardless of price. Little wonder James Halliday noted our consistent excellence – in red wines particularly – and accorded us his five red-star rating.
