Best known for its premium Shiraz, McLaren Vale also produces outstanding Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Mediterranean-style varietals.
The region combines rich winemaking heritage with a modern focus on sustainability and innovation, supported by a vibrant community of boutique wineries, artisanal food producers, and acclaimed restaurants. With its Mediterranean climate, scenic beauty, and diverse experiences, McLaren Vale is a must-visit for wine lovers and nature enthusiasts alike.
Before being renamed The Footbolt Shiraz in 1996, the Old Vine Shiraz (as it was then known) was the first wine to use the term ‘Old Vine’. Always reliably good , Footbolt will always please the serious red drinker. Winemaker Notes Nose: Full of the fresh berries and spice synonymous with McLaren Vale, with a slight eucalypt lift. There is real interest in the secondary characters of sarsaparilla, cinnamon and clove which are expressed more completely as the wine opens up. Palate: Mouth coating and plush with red and purple fruits mingling with orange peel and earth. There is a welcomed kick of five spice on the back palate. The lifted and fine fruit tannins provide structure and pull the wine together nicely.
