This wine is crafted entirely from Shiraz, a blue grape variety that is widely recognized as Australia's signature grape and is also prominently grown in regions like the Rhône Valley, California, and Washington.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are sourced from McLaren Vale, located in South Australia. South Australia is the country's most significant wine-producing state, responsible for over half of the national production, with Adelaide serving as its central hub. McLaren Vale itself is one of the oldest and most esteemed wine areas in the state, with a history dating back to the first vine plantings in 1838. The area stretches from the coastline of Gulf St Vincent inland towards the Mount Lofty Ranges. It features a highly complex geology with more than 40 different soil types, ranging from red-brown sandy loam and limestone to iron-rich terra rossa.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMcLaren Vale is internationally renowned for its red wine production, where Shiraz stands as the absolute primary grape. The region benefits from a distinct Mediterranean climate with warm, dry summers and mild winters. During the growing season, the warm days are moderated by cool sea breezes drifting inland at night, along with descending winds from the mountains, ensuring an even ripening of the grapes. The area is also notable for its high proportion of certified organic and sustainable vineyards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuring the winemaking process, the grapes are fermented in open vats under the strict supervision of the winemaking team. Following this stage, the wine is aged for 12 months using a combination of American and French oak barrels. The finished wine is fermented dry, with a residual sugar level of just one gram per liter, and has an alcohol content of 14.5 percent.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Backyard Cellar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56928949305670,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-287_47ca0324-e541-4686-b59f-79305d244b63.jpg?v=1783587563","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.eu\/products\/mclaren-vale-shiraz-backyard-cellar-2005","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
