WINE DESCRIPTION

Vintage Longbottom Henry's Drive Reserve Shiraz is a full-bodied, robust wine produced by the renowned Longbottom Winery. This Reserve Shiraz is sourced from Henry's Drive Vineyard located in the McLaren Vale wine region of South Australia. The vineyard has deep, sandy soils and a warm, dry climate that helps to produce intensely flavoured Shiraz. The winemaking involves careful selection of the best parcels of grapes to be blended together, along with a small amount of French oak added for complexity. The result is a rich, dark-fruited wine with warm spices, hints of chocolate and a long, lingering finish. Enjoy this beautiful Shiraz with full-flavoured dishes such as a juicy steak.

McLaren Vale is an important wine-producing region in the Fleurieu Peninsula, south of Australian. It is renowned for its award-winning Shiraz, as well as other grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache, Mourvedre, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. McLaren Vale has a long and proud history of winemaking, with the first vines planted in the region in 1838. The region’s first commercial winery, Bleasdale, was established in 1850, and the region has been producing quality wines ever since. In the early 1900s, McLaren Vale was one of the most important wine regions in Australia, and it continues to be a major player in the Australian wine industry today.
