BELLA VIGNA SHIRAZ WINS GOLD
First the 2008 Bella Vigna McLaren Vale Shiraz was awarded a gold medal at the International Wine Challenge in London.
Then it was awarded 5 stars by Winestate Magazine in their Shiraz Challenge.
Now it is in the running for Winestate’s Shiraz of the Year… only time will tell.
Look for the results in the September issue of Winestate Magazine, but I’m sure that if we win, you’ll all know about it through the grapevine!
Meanwhile, you can purchase the Bella Vigna Shiraz from The Edinburgh Cellars at Mitcham for around $25 per bottle, or it’s available direct from the winery. Just let us know if you’d like a case!
International Wine Challenge Trophy!
NEWS FLASH
The Haselgrove Bella Vigna 2008 McLaren Vale Shiraz has surpassed all expectations and has taken out the title of…
BEST McLAREN VALE SHIRAZ in the LONDON INTERNATIONAL WINE CHALLENGE for 2010.
The Bella Vigna Shiraz was blind tasted by over 350 judges and as a result, Haselgrove was judged as the producer of the best Shiraz McLaren Vale has to offer. Only 12 Australian producers won trophies at the competition this year, so it is a huge accolade.
Congratulations to Greg, Matt and the whole company on this fantastic achievement. May there be many more.

Four Glasses out of Five
Bella Vigna McLaren Vale Shiraz 2008
Right in the mainstream of McLaren Vale style; sumptuous blackfruits, dark chocolate and cedar are intertwined with ripe tannins; good length and balance. Screwcap. 14.5% alc. Rating 93. To 2020. $25
Il Padrone The Boss McLaren Vale Shiraz 2007
Some colour development; the complex bouquet of blackfruits, mocha oak and dark chocolate leads into a medium- to full-bodied palate with more of the same; a barrel selection, but all new French oak, made only in exceptional vintages – curious, because ‘07 was certainly not exceptional, rather the reverse. However, hyperbole to one side, this is a very good wine. Screwcap. 14.5% alc. Rating 93. To 2027. $48
Bella Vigna Adelaide Hills Sauvignon Blanc 2009
Light straw-green; a thoroughly appealing mix of citrus/lime and tropical fruits; the finish lingering and long in the mouth. Screwcap. 12% alc. Rating 90. To 2012. $20

H by Haselgrove 2009 Cabernet Merlot
With a winery based in McLaren Vale, most of the fruit for this crackingly good wine comes from around the same region, with a decent splash also from the Adelaide Hills and Padthaway. It’s worth noting its great fruit too, beautifully blackcurranty with a satisfyiung wholeness, good structure and backbone to develop for a few years yet. A brilliant bargain.
Rating: 4 glasses – A cut above

Salute: Bella Vigna Shiraz
Haselgrove was acquired by four Italian Australians in 2008. Greg Clack is chief winemaker. The Haselgrove Bella Vigna Beautiful Vineyard Shiraz 2009 is sourced from some of McLaren Vale’s best vineayrds and it shows in the depth of flavour. There are ripe raspberry and blackberry aromas and falvours and well intergrated oak. It is a rich, and rewarding wine that deserves prime beef or game, or maybe full flavoured cheeses.
