2016 Hickinbotham Brooks Road Shiraz Museum Release

The Brooks Road Shiraz is one of the more characterful Shiraz you will find from McLaren Vale.

With the vineyard located not too far the Adelaide Hills, it has a distinctly cool-climate feel not often found in this region. But don’t be fooled, this is no lightweight Shiraz, it has depth and structure to boot and is definitely something that can be revisited again and again over a decade or two.

It is easy to see why some of the biggest names in wine have made the pilgrimage for this fruit for more than 40 years. It will continue to mature gracefully for years to come.

"A shiraz that's full-bodied and complex yet charming and swoon-worthy all at once. Excellent colour; the generosity of flavour comes through with red and black fruits, some licorice, cinnamon and a dusting of mocha. Freshness, bright acidity, length and beautiful, fine tannins seal the deal."
