$299.94 / 6PK
Maxwell's Eocene shiraz zeroes in on terroir with laser focus - single vineyard from the most northern section of their estate near Chalk Hill - where McLaren Vale is at its most McLaren Vale-y. Blackberry, black cherry, dark brambly fruits with charry oak hints and complex earthy undertones - this is genuinely top-shelf gear.

Why do we love this wine?
A deep purple, almost ink-like colour signals concentration immediately. Aromatics deliver all of that 'Cherry Ripe' charm with roasted oak threading through without dominating. The palate's where complexity really unfolds - layered lush fruits meeting genuine savouriness. Black bramble joins olive tapenade and bay leaf notes, all held together by a fine acid backbone and silky tannins that coat the mouth without ripping your gums to bits. Earthy, savoury spice emerges with oak shining through the back palate, adding polish and structure. Built for medium-rare scotch fillet with roast potatoes and broccolini, finished with red wine jus. Or just like a meat pie or something - it's not about the food, this is all about wine. Cellar confidently for 10-15 years or longer watching it develop even more complexity.
