The incredibly style 2022 Shiraz McDonald Marananga SV904 is beautifully composed with a natural unforced generosity and even shape underpinned by a firm structure. Powerfully focused aromas of licorice and musky plum are enriched by spicy oak and followed by a bright, energetic and tightly controlled chocolatey palate. Composure again comes to the fore and holds its shape over a long finish. The 2022 is claret-like and will age very well.
96 pts - Jeni Port (Wine Pilot)Such a lovely vibrancy and immediacy to the fruit and the intensity is off the charts. Welcome to Marananga! Colour is deepest purple, almost black. Spices, florals and fruit mix and whirl and lift in a seamless, unforced way. Blue fruits, red liquorice, black cherry, plum, sage, a touch of green herbals and earth with a splash of savoury soy, dark chocolate and cigar box – it’s an impressively complex set of flavours – swept along with lovely, velvety lithe tannins. The line of deep fruit intensity is just so part of Marananga. Still has plenty left in the tank. Give it time, if you have the patience.
