Produced by the renowned McWilliam's family, this Shiraz is a testament to their expertise in winemaking. The grapes are sourced from select vineyards, and the wine is aged in a combination of French and American oak barrels, resulting in complex and layered flavors. This Shiraz offers aromas of dark fruits, spices, and a hint of oak, followed by a palate that is bold and juicy, with flavors of blackberry, plum, and a touch of vanilla. With its long and smooth finish, McWilliam's Shiraz Hanwood Estate is a perfect pairing for grilled meats or hearty stews.
