Hancock & Hancock Shiraz Grenache

Chris Hancock MW has crafted outstanding wines in McLaren Vale for more than 30 years and is widely regarded as one of Australia’s most sought-after winemakers. He has been with Robert Oatley Vineyards since 1962, working closely with Bob Oatley, and now serves as Deputy Executive Chairman.

In 2015, Chris and his brother John launched Hancock & Hancock, sourcing fruit from their La Colline vineyard in McLaren Vale. The vineyard’s southeast-facing, old vines—averaging around 80 years of age—produce wines that are rich and full-bodied, yet approachable and ready to enjoy.

The Hancock and Hancock Shiraz/Grenache blend is made in a beautifully restrained and supple style.  There’s plenty of ripe dark plum fruit, pepper and spice courtesy of the Shiraz with the rose petal perfume and red cherry flavours of Grenache. Well balanced through to the finish, this drinks really well now, but will cellar nicely for 5 years or so.
