About the Winemaker

Boxhead

"For 14 years, McLaren Vale and the Barossa Valley lent their rich, red soils to craft a beloved Shiraz. Then, in year 15, the masterminds behind this elixir ventured to South Africa's Swartland region, where granitic and shale soils awaited, ready to script the next chapter. Despite the change in scenery, the iconic cubic mascot still graces the label, while inside, the familiar flavors of ripe fruit, velvety texture, and robust tannins continue to captivate." — Vine Street
