McGuigan Hand Made is 100% Shiraz. This label is an extremely limited one, and as its name implies, it's 100% handmade. It comes from the vineyards of the outstanding town of Langhorne Creek, crafted with grapes from low-yielding vineyards. The result is a magnificent, powerful yet elegant Aussie Shiraz. This wine is the pinnacle of the McGuigan portfolio of wines.

Aging: 18 months in French oak barrels. 

100% Shiraz. Initial pepper spice aroma followed by wild fruits and vanilla. A rich full-bodied wine with a wonderful mix of dark cherries, plum, and spice - reminiscent of Christmas cake.

This powerful wine offers a heady mix of strawberry, raspberry and plum aromas alongside accents of soy, olive, ground pepper and dried flowers. The palate is finely textured, with chalky, savory tannins and lifted acidity that support the tangy fruit. Drink now–2029. ~92 Wine Enthusiast.

Forward, ripe and sweet dark fruits, strawberry jam, wild aniseed and caramel, lifted by refreshing mint. ~91 Decanter.
