Nestled in McLaren Vale, inspired by the rare and captivating Cape Barren Goose, Cape Barren Wines crafts wines that authentically express the unique terroir of the region.
Our Old Vine Shiraz is rich in colour, with an intense lift of dark chocolate and plum characters with hints of five spice exciting the senses. Blackberry intensity immediately fills the palate, mixing seamlessly with dark chocolate and mocha. Powerful soft tannins are harmoniously in balance, achieving the holy grail of power and finesse. A long, persistent finish is supported by a subtle oak accent and soft, supple tannins.

Sam Kim, Wine Orbit - 96 Points
"Plenty of plush and opulent old vine McLaren Vale fruits in this excellent classy shiraz. Dark chocolate and ripe dark inky plum and blackberry merge on the nose. The palate is lavishly rich but brought into focus by the fine tannins and tight grained oak. Has a grainy textural feel balancing the sweet wipe fruit. Cellar 10 years.
