About This Wine

Shanks' Mare

Shiraz

Shank's Mare embodies Australia's beauty and rugged allure with its signature grape. Dense, dark fruit notes, savory spice and velvety textures make this an excellent example of classic Aussie Shiraz. McLaren Vale is tucked in the heart of South Australia, between the shores of Gulf St. Vincent and the foothills of the Mount Lofty Ranges. Its first vines were planted in the 1830s, and many consider it the birthplace of the South Australian wine industry. This scenic region offers a Mediterranean climate that fills the summers with warmth and sunshine, while breezes from the nearby mountains and gulf keep vineyards cool. It's no surprise that Shiraz prospers here, producing bold wines booming with powerful fruit flavors. Australia may be far away, but Shank's Mare allows you to connect with this historic region by simply popping a cork. Scroll through the image carousel above to learn more about this wine.

Wine Region

McLaren Vale

Ancient soils, exciting varieties and unique styles define McLaren Vale. This region is the home to the oldest vines in South Australia and its birthplace of winemaking. Vineyards enjoy a Mediterranean climate, cooled by mountain winds and ocean breezes between the Mount Lofty Ranges and Gulf St. Vincent. Shiraz is the star grape variety, creating wines with soft textures and rich fruit flavors. Cabernet Sauvignon and Grenache have also thrived here for decades alongside traditional white grapes like Chardonnay. Recently, local winemakers have prioritized Italian and Spanish varieties that are naturally well-suited to the familiar climate, like Fiano, Vermentino, Tempranillo, Sangiovese and Zinfandel.

  • A figure representing the Mulberry tasting note. Mulberry

Our Shiraz is full of fruit and spice. On the nose, ripe berry, tobacco, mince pie and white pepper aromas appear as the wine opens. Redcurrant and mulberry flavors mingle on a big, bold palate, as mouthcoating tannins create a satisfying juiciness that lingers.
