Cellar

Cellar for 10-12 years

About

What was originally known for over 100 years as Ellen Street runs along the southern boundary of the Maxwell vineyards. Situated between this road and the winery is a small vineyard of craggy, gnarled Shiraz vines planted in 1953. Every year these vines bear some of the most concentrated fruit on the estate.

Vintage Conditions

McLaren Vale's 2022 vintage will be recorded as one of the great years for the region, and though volume was down, flavours, colour and structure were all brilliant. Summer was excellent with warm, dry conditions and no 40°C days, and was followed by a perfect, warm Autumn, with harvesting starting a little later compared to recent years.

Maker Notes

18 months in French and American oak, approximately 25% new barrels.
