Chapel Hill Mclaren Vale Shiraz 2024
Trust your Taste
Blackberry, blueberry and dark plum give this McLaren Vale Shiraz a generous fruit core. Pepper, liquorice and mocha add depth, while smooth tannins and balanced freshness carry the long finish. Try it with a flavourful dinner if you enjoy full-bodied reds with rounded edges.
