Chapel Hill The Prophet McLaren Vale Shiraz 2021

Michael Fragos grew up in McLaren Vale, and spent 14 years at Tatachilla before taking over at Chapel Hill in 2004. Endless titles and Trophies worldwide followed. A three-time ‘Bushing King’, Michael was named best winemaker on the planet at the world’s biggest wine show and Halliday notes his “wine quality is unfailingly excellent”. This McLaren Vale heavyweight is divinely good and shows Michael’s wonderful handiwork at its very best. It brims with deep blueberry, mocha, dark olive and liquorice with a lovely mouthfeel, the fruit and tannins all in perfectly pitched harmony. Gilbert & Gaillard give it a Double Gold medal; "right ruby colour with a few purple glints. Reserved nose of red fruit, spices and toast. Velvety attack opening onto a heady, full-bodied, firm palate just beginning to reveal its complex range. Hand-crafted, very elegant."
