Winery notes (2022 Vintage)
"Shingleback Davey Estate wines capture the genuine and enduring character of the McLaren Vale region in South Australia. Situated between the hills and the sea, lies our Davey Estate Vineyard.
Deep red wine with hints of purple, and a generous, luscious, deep Christmas cake fruit flavours, underling blackberry and forest floor earthy tones and highly approachable. Silky velvet tannins complement the flavour profile providing a length and persistence characterised by McLaren Vale Shiraz.
Maturation for an average of 13 months in new – 6 year old fine-grained American and French oak hogsheads softens, enhances & integrates the fruit & structural components of the wine."

5 Stars & 95/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, August 2022 (2020 Vintage)
"Richly fruited and gorgeously expressed showing black/blueberry, vanillin oak, smoky bacon and dark chocolate notes, it’s concentrated and sumptuous in the mouth delivering opulence as well as refinement. Bold and powerful with a lengthy delectable finish. At its best: now to 2035."
95/100 & Top 100, James Halliday's Wine Companion (2019 Vintage)
"Matured for 13 months in new and used oak. A compellingly endowed shiraz which has managed to emerge from its oak womb with a supple, seductive medium-bodied palate that has an energetic savoury finish, which is the high point of the wine."
