The Ingoldby name has been an essential part of McLaren Vale viticulture for over a century. Choice parcels of Shiraz are sourced from premium McLaren Vale sites, including the Ingoldby family property at McLaren Flat. Fruit is earmarked on the basis of intense flavour and fine tannins. Parcels are vinified separately in a mix of fermenters and pressed off skins upon completion. Some components are matured in seasoned oak barrels to derive complexity, the balance remain unoaked to return vital fruit characters and preserve freshness. Prior to assemblage, each component is assessed to strike the perfect balance of lifted fruit and gentle tannins, supple oak and fine complexity.

Deep purple/ red colour. An enticing nose redolent of dark summer berry compote with hints of chocolate. Subtle oak lets the fruit do the talking and plays a supportive, integrated role. The palate is rich and round with purple fruits, dense but supple tannins contributing power with finesse, balance and good length.
