Noogoora is the personal project of Pieter Breugem, winemaker of the top selling Dr. John’s Willunga Shiraz. Sourced from the Willunga and Blewit Springs districts of McLaren Vale malolactic fermentation was completed in older French and American hogsheads before being transferred to American hogsheads for 14 months maturation.

Long, rich and plush this beautifully crafted McLaren Vale Shiraz is gushing with flavour and selling for a song

Opaque black dark purple colour with a deep dark purple red hue. Alluring and pronounced in its aromatics the nose offers up scents of liquorice, ripe blackberries and dark chocolate over some vanillin oak and spice. Bold, rich and opulent the palate is representative of all that McLaren Vale Shiraz should be, over flowing with succulent liquorice and blackberry flavours that are underpinned by vanillin cedar, subtle dark chocolate with spicy pepper characters on the finish. Velvety, satin like tannins. Excellent concentration and fruit purity with a long plush aftertaste of liquorice, blackberries, vanillin oak and spicy pepper. Killer Value.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.
