Wine Description

The McGuigan Shiraz Black Label presents a deep cherry red colour in the glass. The aromatic profile is lifted and fruit-forward, featuring dominant notes of ripe blackcurrant, plum, and red berry fruits, accented by hints of spice, mint, and subtle toast. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied and rich, delivering intense flavours of blackberry jam, spicy plum, and cherry.

Stylistically, this 100% Shiraz is crafted for consistency and approachability, offering a well-rounded mouthfeel with smooth tannins and balanced acidity. The addition of vanilla and caramel notes adds depth, leading to a long, persistent, and satisfying finish. While designed for immediate enjoyment, its robust fruit character allows for a short drinking window over the next two to three years.
