It is by far the most important wine-producing area in the Fleurieu zone and is also regarded very highly throughout Australia and the world. A wide array of grape varieties can be successfully grown here. The best wines come from very old vines, some planted more than 100 years ago. These are prized for producing low yields of extremely concentrated fruit. Shiraz leads the region's list of award-winning wines, making McLaren Vale a favorite place to grow this grape. Cabernet Sauvignon is another prominent grape variety, along with Grenache and Mourvedre, which, together with Shiraz, make up some of the most acclaimed GSM blends here. Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc dominate McLaren Vale's white grape varieties, with a plethora of other regional and international specialties such as Merlot, Zinfandel, Tempranillo,  Sangiovese and Viognier also making their mark.\\n\\nTempranillo is a red grape variety grown throughout Spain and Portugal and to a lesser degree in other parts of the wworld. Tempranillo produces red wines with red fruit and leather aromas, high tannins, moderate to low acidity, and moderate alcohol. In 2020, Tempranillo was the third most-planted grape variety in the world, with the majority of plantings in the Iberian Peninsula.\u0026quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":13187,\"3\":{\"1\":4,\"2\":\"\\\"$\\\"#,##0.00\"},\"4\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":16573901},\"10\":0,\"11\":4,\"12\":0,\"15\":\"Arial\",\"16\":8}' data-sheets-textstyleruns='{\"1\":0,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":648}{\"1\":649,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":661}{\"1\":815,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":829}{\"1\":1011,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":1025}{\"1\":1304,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":1318}{\"1\":1495,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":1506}{\"1\":1673,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":1683}{\"1\":1917,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":1931}{\"1\":2114,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":2128}{\"1\":2417,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":2430}{\"1\":2830,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":2846}{\"1\":3061,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":3086}' data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e91\/100 Stuart Knox (The Real Review)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBronze Ned Goodwin MW (Halliday) \u003c\/strong\u003e(2020 vintage)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBronze Huon Hooke (The Real Review) \u003c\/strong\u003e(2020 vintage)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92\/100 James Suckling \u003c\/strong\u003e(2019 vintage)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92\/100 Ned Goodwin MW (Halliday) \u003c\/strong\u003e(2019 vintage)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e90\/100 Huon Hooke \u003c\/strong\u003e(2019 vintage)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95\/100 Jane Faulkner (Halliday) \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e90\/100 James Button (Decanter) \u003c\/strong\u003e(2017 vintage)\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBronze The Wine Front \u003c\/strong\u003e(2017 vintage)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94\/100 James Halliday \u003c\/strong\u003e(2015 vintage)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBronze The Wine Front \u003c\/strong\u003e(2014 vintage)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTROPHY WINNER\u003c\/strong\u003e - Tony Mangan Memorial Award for Best Organic Wine of the show at the 2020 Australian Alternative Varieties Wine Show (AAVWS) (2020 Vintage)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNASAA Certified Biodynamic\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStuart Knox\u003c\/strong\u003e \"Good length....Cherry, violets and African spice aromatics.

The chardonnays particularly exemplify that hard-to-achieve balance of pleasurable on release, and capable of graceful ageing. The move towards organics and sustainable farming has had a positive impact on the quality of the wines, and it is a delight to witness so much diversity in the vineyards - from experimental clones and new plantings, to sheep, chickens, olives and vegetables.

The estate is located in a hidden jewel of an area known as the Ferguson Valley (in Geograph Bay in Western Australia) which, at that time, was home to only a few small vineyards.

These wines embody the mischievous and playful nature of the Greek goddess Até. With a focus on fruit-forward profiles and generous flavours, each wine displays the hallmarks of its region and is a testament to the artistry and passion of the winemaker. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTheir range includes the Até Sparkling, Até Pinot Grigio, Até Chardonnay, and Até Shiraz, each offering unique and delightful flavours that fully express the region from which they are from. There are the bright lemony notes of the Sparkling, a shining example of the winery's dedication to quality and flavour, the zesty freshness of the Pinot Grigio, and the expressive character of the Chardonnay made from South Eastern Australian grapes. The Shiraz is a deep ruby color and purple hue, with aromas and flavors of red and dark plum, boysenberry, smoky oak spices, and hints of black pepper.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll these wines exemplify the winery's commitment to quality and flavour.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e100% Shiraz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShiraz, also known as Syrah is a popular red wine. Though the spiritual homeland of this red grape is France, Syrah has been planted throughout the world to great success. It expresses itself differently depending on the climate, soil and regional style.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShiraz tends to come from warmer growing climates, namely the South Australian regions of Barossa, McLaren Vale and Adelaide Hills. Stylistically, these wines are lush, fruit-forward examples that embody the warmer, sunnier climate. Shiraz is so important to Australian viticulture that it is the most planted grape variety in the majority of Australian vineyards and has become virtually synonymous with the country's wine regions, and in particular the Barossa Valley.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ate","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47175872053480,"sku":"ATE-SH22-75012","price":36.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/8685\/files\/AteShiraz2021-SouthEastAustralia_Australia_58caf281-3f3f-4122-a5b2-4ed105c6ff3d.jpg?v=1768312385"},{"product_id":"majella-sparkling-shiraz-2022-coonawarra-south-australia","title":"Majella Sparkling Shiraz 2022 ~ Coonawarra South Australia","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92\/100 Shanteh Wale, Halliday Wine Companion \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e91\/100 Campbell Mattinson, Halliday Wine Companion \u003c\/strong\u003e(2021 vintage)\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e90\/100 Houn Hooke, The Real Review \u003c\/strong\u003e(2020 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBronze - Huon Hooke, The Real Review\u003c\/strong\u003e(2019 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e91\/100 James Suckling \u003c\/strong\u003e(2017 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5 Stars Winery - James Halliday \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSilver - Royal Adelaide Wine Show \u003c\/strong\u003e(2021 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInternational Judge's Award \u003c\/strong\u003e(2010 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShanteh Wale, Halliday Wine Companion\u003c\/strong\u003e \"The base wine sees maturation in second- and third-use French oak hogsheads.
