Bright aromas of cassis, redcurrants, cranberries and dark plums are lifted by scents of five spice and backed by smoky cedar/vanilla oak. It's fullish to medium in weight, long and gravelly, with a sumptuous core of sour-edged dark berry/plum fruit that steadily builds with aeration, ultimately finishing savoury, with schisty, mineral notes.

Ox Hardy
Andrew Hardy brings his wealth of winemaking experience and unbridled enthusiasm to his family's historic vineyard in Upper Tintara, which includes a 2.5 hectare block of Ancestor Vine shiraz planted in 1891. His wines, reds especially, tell a story of why McLaren Vale can be so relevant today, both as a source of classic traditional Australian wine as well as more elegant and medium-bodied alternatives to what many drinkers believe the region is all about. Taken as a group, the wines are spotlessly made, true to type and offer terrific value for money.
