Dune’s Blewitt Springs Shiraz showcases the unique character of this McLaren Vale sub-region, where deep sandy soils and yellow clays produce medium-bodied wines with lifted dark fruit, floral, and meaty notes. The vineyard benefits from a gently north-facing, late-ripening site, with grapes fermented using whole bunches, whole berries, and crushed fruit, then matured for 12 months in seasoned French oak foudres and hogsheads. The wine offers a complex palate of dark cherry, mulberry, and savory spices like star anise and clove, balanced by fine, chalky tannins and a supple texture with hints of smoked meat and incense. This fresh and vibrant Shiraz delivers elegance and depth, reflecting the Lloyd brothers’ vision to craft wines expressive of their vineyard’s distinct style, with organic farming and thoughtful winemaking guiding the process.
