Blackbilly wine is produced using the famous vineyards of McLaren Vale known for wines of richness and diversity. Using modern and traditional winemaking techniques we craft wines of exceptional value and flavour for drinking and enjoyment.
Shiraz is Australia’s most famous variety and McLaren Vale’s signature wine. Old vineyards, a Mediterranean climate and classical winemaking, which includes the use of American oak hogsheads (AP John), ensures a wine of substance and style.
This 20th vintage release of Blackbilly uses an older vineyards from heavier soils in McLaren Flat to produce a beautifully scented wine with some scented Shiraz from Blewitt Springs. Full and round tannins are a highlight of the palate aptly combined with ripe fruit complexity. The partial use of American oak hogsheads for barrel fermentation (~5%) and a mixture of older French oaks provide a complex character in harmony with the fruitiness of the wine.
As this wine has been treated with respect in our cellar, a harmless crust may develop with maturation. Decant and allow to breathe on opening. Medium term cellaring is recommended to enjoy the regionality this wine provides.
