Grant Burge Ink McLaren Vale Shiraz

Grant Burge Ink McLaren Vale Shiraz offers dense dark berry fruit flavours including blackberry and plum, layered with dark chocolate, liquorice and hints of black pepper. The palate is rich and vibrant with a round texture and slightly firm tannins. The finish is soft and warming, with lingering dark fruit and gentle spice notes that fade gradually.

This shiraz is sourced from McLaren Vale in South Australia, one of the country's most celebrated shiraz-producing regions. The Grant Burge family has been involved in winemaking for five generations dating back to 1865, originally in the Barossa Valley. McLaren Vale is known for producing full-bodied, fruit-forward shiraz with rich, generous flavours.

Grant Burge Ink McLaren Vale Shiraz pairs beautifully with char-grilled lamb chops, slow-cooked beef brisket, or hearty beef stews. The wine's rich dark fruit and firm tannins also complement aged cheddar, mature hard cheeses, and dishes with smoky or peppery flavours. Try it alongside barbecued meats or mushroom-based dishes for a satisfying match.

This full-bodied shiraz complements rich, savoury dishes with bold flavours. Think roasted or grilled red meats, pepper-crusted steak, lamb shanks, or venison. The wine's dark chocolate and spice notes also work well with game meats and dishes featuring earthy mushrooms or black pepper seasoning.

Serve Grant Burge Ink McLaren Vale Shiraz at 16-18u00b0C to allow the dense fruit and spice characters to fully express. Use a large red wine glass to provide adequate aeration. Decanting is optional but can help soften the tannins if you prefer a rounder, more immediate drinking experience.
