James Halliday’s 2012 Wine Companion has just been released and Mandurang Valley is thrilled to announce that two of their wines have scored in excess of 90. The winery itself also received a 4 ½ star rating, indicating a winery of very high quality.
The 2008 Old Vine received a score of 94 as a wine of the highest quality, as well as receiving a red star indicating a wine that is considered to offer special value for money.
Tasting notes: From estate-grown vines planted in 1976 and ’78; has retained good hue; well made, with the range of dark berry fruits, 12 months' maturation in new French oak and ripe tannins all balanced and integrated. Cabernet Sauvignon/Shiraz/Merlot.
Rating: 94 Drink By: 2023
The 2008 Shiraz was awarded 91 points being a wine of great quality, style and character.
Tasting Notes: Crimson-purple; an unusually floral bouquet with heady spice and pepper aromas, then a juicy, medium-bodied palate with bright red and black fruits, the oak obvious at this stage, plus a touch of regional mint.
