Edward B Gleeson. AKA Paddy Gleeson. AKA The King of Clare. AKA The Squire. Paddy was an Irishman who made his fortune in Calcutta before making the move to south Australia (with his entourage of animals!). He’d go on to be an iconic figure in the valley, he was the town’s first mayor, he even laid the first stones to the local church.
In a tip of the hat to the King of the Clare the guys at Kirrihill have produced a first rate Shiraz after him. And they spared little expense to make sure this is a red worthy of a Squire!
Using only the best parcels of fruit from their Schobers vineyard – this is their flagship Clare Valley Shiraz for a reason. Dark, inky in colour, it’s all dark berry fruits, licorice and spice!
Drinking superbly right now but if you’ve got the patience you could tuck this one away in the cellar until 2032.
