Shiraz, The Lear, McLaren Vale, Haselgrove, Adelaide, Australia, 2021

Since 1981 Haselgrove has been tending to vineyards and creating award-winning wine in the heart of McLaren Vale. Today our winemaking team, headed up by Andrew Locke, utilising a combination of traditional ‘old world’ winemaking techniques and the best modern practices to hand-crafted artisan wines that reflect vintage conditions and display the terroir of the vineyard.

​IN Celtic mythology, Lear is the personification of the sea. McLaren Vale's proximity to the coast makes this region an ideal location for growing Shiraz.

The Haselgrove team have selected their very best parcels of McLaren Vale Shiraz to create a wine of true dstinction. Vibrant crimson in colour and displaying intense aromas of ripe plum and blackberry, with hints of feshly roasted coffee and sweet spice notes.
Fruit forward with poise and elegance, the palate displays dark berry flavours, balanced by structural tannis and persistent finish.

The Lear is a rare beauty, treat it so.
