2012 Bellevue Estate McLaren Vale (163 points) $19.00

What a success story! The 2011 vintage of this wine won the hat trick at the Boutique Wine Awards 2013 with Trophies for ‘Best Shiraz of Show, ‘Best Wine of Show’, and ‘Best Estate Grown & Produced’. Now the 2012 vintage has won Best value Shiraz Under $25 retail at The Ed Shiraz Challenge!

This family owned winery is a labour of love for the 2 generations of Vandeleur family who tend this 10-acre single vineyard estate based in the main street of McLaren Vale. With over 20 vintages under his belt from Sonoma in California to South Africa & Bordeaux, Corey Vandeleur handcrafts Shiraz wine on site in the estate micro winery, producing only one wine. Made in small two tonne open fermenters prior to basket pressing there is little or minimal fining or filtration. Limited release of only 1000 cases
