Hancock & Hancock

McLaren Vale reds anchored in Tempranillo, Shiraz, and Cabernet blends.

Hancock & Hancock operates in McLaren Vale, the warm heart of South Australia's Fleurieu Peninsula, where Mediterranean-influenced conditions favor full-bodied reds. The winery's portfolio centers on Tempranillo, a Spanish varietal that finds particular expression in this region's sun-drenched terroir. A Shiraz-Grenache blend captures the classic McLaren Vale character—ripe fruit and structural depth—while a Cabernet-Touriga pairing demonstrates the winery's willingness to explore less conventional combinations. Tempranillo has drawn attention from Decanter, Wine Spectator, and Wine Enthusiast. The broader range reflects McLaren Vale's reputation as a source of powerful, fruit-forward wines with the alcohol and tannin structure to age.
