Distinction · 1 prestige critic

Stalking Horse operates in McLaren Vale, the warm, maritime-influenced corner of South Australia's Fleurieu Peninsula. The region's Mediterranean climate and varied soils—from sandy loams to clay and limestone—create ideal conditions for Shiraz, the dark-skinned grape that defines McLaren Vale's character. Shiraz from this terroir typically expresses ripe stone fruit, pepper, and savory complexity, with the structure to age. Stalking Horse's Shiraz has been assessed by Wine Spectator, reflecting the wine's place within the region's broader portfolio of serious, age-worthy reds. McLaren Vale remains one of Australia's most established Shiraz regions, where the variety achieves both power and nuance.
