The Black Chook Shiraz 2015
McLaren Vale and Padthaway
Loading...
A generous, mouthfilling Shiraz from highly acclaimed McLaren Vale winemaker Alexia Roberts, The Black Chook is ‘fit to bust’ with smooth, sumptuous, fresh black fruit. It’s everything you could wish for from a premium, top-notch Shiraz from Oz.
We're sorry, this wine is sold out.
But don't worry, you'll find plenty more handpicked wines here.
The Wine
The Black Chook ticks every box for what we look for in a proper Aussie Shiraz: top quality, easy drinking and delivering plenty of bang for your buck. This juicy 2015 was crafted by multi award winner Alexia Roberts – head winemaker at Penny’s Hill in the McLaren Vale. She has taken rich, old vine Shiraz from prime sites there and added a portion of fruit from Padthaway. A three hour drive southeast of Adelaide, Padthaway is where the cooler climate yields a harvest with slightly higher acidity. This keeps Black Chook lithe and lively, giving it oodles of ‘more please’ drinkability. Powerful, yet beautifully structured, it’s a great accompaniment to conviviality, as a partner to braised meats, ripe cheeses or a roasted vegetable lasagne.

Clucking good Shiraz. Deep dark colour with loads of juicy fruit and a long finish
