Aramis Vineyards ‘The Bastion’ Shiraz 2020 (12 Bottles) McLaren Vale

$308.00 GST Included

AUSTRALIA WIDE FREE SHIPPING

The Bastion Shiraz is a pure expression of our unique McLaren Vale site – an ethereal wine of both poise and power. After spending nearly two years in French oak barrels it has developed considerable complexity with a tantalising balance of opulent fruit and savoury notes. Heady aromas of dark blackberry and chocolate are underpinned by subtle mocha, violet and earthy characters, along with structured, fine-grained tannins and a good lick of vanilla oak. Enjoy now or, if you can bear to wait, for many years to come.

“An inky deep red with purple hues in the glass, the nose shows the trappings of quality new oak that gives cedar to generous plum and blackberry. The impact of new oak is significant on the palate, and it gives both a sheath of spice, but also savoury oak derived tannins. As the wine opens up, milk chocolate adds to the layers of interest before the finish glistens with drying plum and earthen but lightly spiced tannins.” – Patrick Eckel – 93 Points

About Aramis Vineyards

Aramis Vineyards lay delicately inland from the acclaimed southern beaches of South Australia. We are proudly part of the world renowned McLaren Vale wine region, and enjoy the seasonal benefits of this coastal climate, producing sharply focussed wine with layered textures, flavours and spice.

All of our small batch varieties are traditionally crafted, using traditional, labour-intensive processes and maturation in the best French and American oak barrels. We are passionately invested throughout every step of our winemaking, and delight in knowing that enjoying our wines is an experience not forgotten.

Expressing the character and charm of our vineyard site is at the heart of everything we do at Aramis Vineyards. Our desire is to tell the story of our own place in the world – McLaren Vale – our mandate to create the ultimate expression of the region, the ‘first growth’, the best of the best.

We focus on the classic varietals of South Australia, those best suited to our terroir and to the creation of fine, full-bodied red wines – Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon. A combination of meticulous viticulture and traditional, minimal intervention winemaking ensure our wines are given the chance to articulate every nuance of their unique heritage, exuding a true sense of place and their story from vine to bottle.

L’Atelier Wines

L’Atelier by Aramis Vineyards was founded in 2012, dedicated to supplying a hand-selected range of quality wines to the independent on and off trade. From small beginnings we now operate across NSW, QLD, VIC and WA as well as in our home state of South Australia. Our distribution company was founded on our absolute belief that there was nobody better to represent our McLaren Vale brand than our own team. From that point our mission was clear - to bring together a collection of wine that would complement and match the quality of our own, and to present these to premium retail and hospitality trade across Australia. We believe in working collaboratively with carefully selected producers from Australia and beyond, each sharing the same passion and commitment to quality. Inspired by the Ateliers of 19th century Paris, we see ourselves as a meeting place for highly talented craftspeople at the top of their trade. Our portfolio consists of premium boutique wines from across Australia, New Zealand, Italy and Spain, all carefully selected to represent the very essence of their region, but most importantly at approachable price-points. We do not aim to build a trophy cabinet, we believe that you do not have to spend a fortune to drink like a king, and our selection reflects our ability to seek out wines that consistently over-deliver and represent the very best value.
