CLEANSKIN: Barossa McLaren Vale Business Out Front, Party Out Back Shiraz 2018
'Business out front, party out back' the mullet is an Australian Icon. Our No.58 shiraz is a blend of two iconic wine regions: Barossa — traditional, sensible and structured, Mclaren Vale — contemporary, experimental and wild. Blending wine
between premium regions is an Australian gift to the world, so too is the mullet.
Deep garnet in colour with an alluring complex aroma of dark-cherry, plums and roasted vanilla bean. The palate is powerful and well structured, fleshy, with chewy textured tannins finishing with polish and focus. The 2018 was an exceptional Barossa vintage indicating this wine will mature well for many years.
