Product Description
Evolving from the Scarce Earth project, our Burnt Block Shiraz is an expression of a single vineyard McLaren Vale Shiraz. The 2020 Burnt Block Shiraz is sourced from Ben Riggs Piebald Gully vineyard, located in McLaren Vale’s coolest sub-region, Clarendon. Onyx, and svelte, evocative, long, and intense, this keynote wine anchors an entire winemaking philosophy. Plums, molasses, violets and vibrant fruits funnel upward, lofty, swifting, and sensual.
