The Eight Bells Shiraz from Maxwell Wines takes its name from nautical terminology. In nautical terms, Eight Bells (or in German 8 Glasen) stands for the end of a sailor’s watch shift. After the watch, the crew member could relax, eat, drink and seek the company of the other sailors. This Australian wine from McLaren Vale is perfect for such occasions, whether at sea or ashore…. McLaren Vale’s 2019 vintage was low yielding and of very high quality. A very dry winter and cool spring resulted in poor bud break and flowering around October. In December the region experienced amazing wind gusts which damaged some of the newly formed grapes. This was followed by a heat wave that further reduced the crop yields. The lower yields resulted in a higher colour density and a better structure of the wine. <\/p>\n

The Maxwell Eight Bells Shiraz seduces with its lush, very varietal aroma of blackberries, plums and red fruits paired with peppery notes and subtle oak spice. On the palate, this Australian red wine is full-bodied with plenty of extract. Fleshy plums and black pepper carry through beautifully. The tannins are supple, the acidity perfectly integrated and well supported. A powerful, polished Shiraz from Australia, with a classic McLaren Vale fruitiness and considerable length.\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":15828,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"wprm-recipe-roundup-name":"","wprm-recipe-roundup-description":"","_members_access_role":[],"_members_access_error":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[4147,3862,3866,3870,4137,4141,4144,4145,3846,4161,4163,4174,4175,4557,4593,4594,3843,3845],"product_tag":[3937,4047,4048,4086,4096,4128,4560,4566,4567,4570,5549],"class_list":["post-15820","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-velvety-round","product_cat-shiraz-syrah","product_cat-wine-type","product_cat-red-wines","product_cat-wine-style","product_cat-savory-spicy","product_cat-mild-harmonious","product_cat-noble-opulent","product_cat-red-grape-varieties","product_cat-wine-origin","product_cat-australia","product_cat-mclaren-vale-en","product_cat-maxwell-wines-en","product_cat-wines-and-food","product_cat-barbecue-wines","product_cat-wine","product_cat-promotional-wines","product_cat-wines","product_tag-australia","product_tag-maxwell-wines-en","product_tag-mclaren-vale-en","product_tag-red-wines","product_tag-shiraz-en","product_tag-wines","product_tag-steak-en","product_tag-shank-of-lamb","product_tag-rack-of-lamb","product_tag-beef-brisket-en","product_tag-eight-bells-en","pa_alkoholgehalt-14-5-en","pa_allergenhinweis-contains-sulphites","pa_anbau-bewirtschaftung-conventional","pa_ausbau-in-barrique-barrel","pa_dekantieren-empfohlen-yes","pa_empfohlenes-glas-bordeaux-glass","pa_empfohlenes-glas-standard-red-wine-glass","pa_geschmack-dry","pa_jahrgang-2019-en","pa_lebensmittelunternehmer-wine-in-motion-gmbh-kellerweg-4-84494-neumarkt-sankt-veit-deutschland-en","pa_nettofuellmenge-0-75-en","pa_rebsorten-shiraz-en","pa_reifepotential-2033-en","pa_restzucker-2-1-en","pa_saeure-6-6-en","pa_trinkreife-from-now","pa_trinktemperatur-16-18-en","pa_vegan-produziert-no","pa_verpackungseinheit-12-en","pa_verschlussart-natural-cork","pa_weingut-maxwell-wines-en","pa_weinland-australia","pa_weinregion-mclaren-vale-en","pa_weinstil-hearty-spicy","pa_weinstil-mild-harmonious","pa_weinstil-velvety-round","pa_weintyp-red-wine","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"yoast_head":"\n
