Beresford McLaren Vale Shiraz

“The world’s best shiraz for 2026 isn’t a rare collector’s bottle or triple-digit splurge. It’s a bang-for-your-buck sipper from SA punching well above its price tag.” (AustralianTraveller.com)

In the heart of south Australia’s McLaren Vale you’ll find Beresford Estate. It’s home to the Beresford House (a luxury holiday retreat and pretty slick looking wedding venue), as well as luxury Beresford suites and villas and the Beresford Tasting Pavilion. Oh and did we mention the 70 hectare site also produces some pretty impressive McLaren Vale reds!

Headwinemaker at Beresford is Natalie Cleghorn and as you’d expect she’s proud as punch. “We’re very excited that our shiraz has done so well on the world stage…The International Wine Challenge is a big competition with lots of wines all around the world, it’s all done through blind tastings and has to go through the palates of many judges and panels.”

“For our wine to be as successful as it has been, it means a lot to the team and shows that our vineyards are strong. McLaren Vale is a wonderful place to grow grapes, and I would encourage everyone to head to our cellar door as well as the others there!”

“Our shiraz is a lovely example of a modern shiraz with lots of fruit power and punch.”

Winemakers since 1985 this is what they like to call their ‘Classic Shiraz’ – “Each step, from vineyard to bottle, truly reflects the rich heritage and unique terroir of McLaren Vale, and the Beresford Wines legacy, which dates back to 1985.”

This is what the Beresford crew had to say about their latest 2023 release – “Beresford wines capture the elegance, powerful complexity and unique essence of McLaren Vale, resulting in wines of great balance and depth. The McLaren Vale Shiraz is a beautiful example of this, lifted spicy cloves, hints of musky redskin with vanilla bean spice notes — a well-balanced wine with great depth, length, and structure.”
