The Vale McLaren Vale Shiraz 2021

Australia

Classic Movie Pairing

The Man from Snowy River (1982)

What better to pair with this full-bodied and vibrant Australian Shiraz than this popular Western romance from the Australian New Wave. Directed by George Miller and starring Kirk Douglass, it's the second film adaptation of Australian poet A.B. "Banjo" Paterson's 1890 poem about the search for a prizewinning racehorse in the mountains of New South Wales. When released it became an instant hit down under and still remains one of Australia's biggest box office successes. Enjoy this rich drama with this equally bold red.

Wine Flavor Profile

The Vale is a full-bodied red wine with ripe red berry, black cherry and plum aromas. The palate is rich and generous, with more dark-fruit flavors plus hints of cloves, white pepper and red licorice. Smooth tannins and a long, satisfying finish.


The Aussies have a secret. While the rest of the world flocks to the famous Barossa Valley, they head to McLaren Vale. Beyond its brilliant beaches and chic art galleries, this stunning region is the birthplace of South Australian wine and “continues to produce intense, complex and seriously age-worthy wines” (The Wine Companion).

Taste for yourself with The Vale Shiraz. This luscious red wine showcases Shiraz, McLaren Vale’s flagship red grape variety. Look forward to ripe red berry, black cherry and plum notes, supported by hints of cloves, white pepper and red licorice.

With its rich and generous plate, this full-bodied Shiraz will elevate a backyard barbecue or impress at your next dinner with friends. However you plan to enjoy it, order your share soon—the Aussies’ secret is out!
