Shiraz 2009 - McLaren Vale, Nugan Estate, South Eastern Australia

This Shiraz is sourced from our McLaren Parish Vineyard in the classic Shiraz region of McLaren Vale, South Australia. In terms of quality, the 2006 vintage was very good, with Shiraz being the highlight of all varietals. After harvest, the grapes were crushed, yeasted and pumped over in traditional style to avoid the extraction of bitter tannins.

Nugan Estate is a premium producer of estate grown wine based in Griffith, New South Wales. It is part of the Nugan Group, which was founded in 1940 on fruit and vegetable packing and expanded in the 1970s into juice production – later becoming one of the largest exporters of niche juice products to Asia. This success resulted in our CEO, Michelle Nugan, being recognised as a Telstra Business Woman of the Year and Australian Export Hero.

In 1993 Nugan Group further diversified its operations planting vineyards and selling fruit under contract. From there, winemaking was a natural progression.

Today Nugan Estate owns 590 hectares of vineyards in Australia’s finest wine growing regions of Riverina, King Valley and McLaren Vale – making it the 18th largest vineyard holders in Australia.

Family operated by Michelle, Matthew and Tiffany Nugan, Nugan Estate is one of Australia’s Top 20 Wine Exporters and is complemented by a premium wine portfolio, extra virgin olive oil and the award winning Griffith restaurant, Michelin.
