McLaren Vale is renowned for its exceptional Grenache and Shiraz varietals, and these wines are particularly noteworthy when it comes to their antioxidant content. Grenache, in particular, is known to be a standout performer, with studies showing that it can contain up to three times the amount of polyphenols found in other red wine varieties.
The intense, full-bodied character of McLaren Vale Shiraz is also a testament to its antioxidant potential. These wines are often described as having a deep, inky colour, which is a direct result of the high concentration of anthocyanins – a type of polyphenol that not only contributes to the wine's hue but also acts as a powerful antioxidant.
