2018 Western Slopes Reserve Shiraz

Our Western Slopes Shiraz is an isolated parcel selected from the west-facing, low yielding vines on our Brokenback Vineyard and is produced in very limited quantities. This 2018 Hunter Valley Shiraz displays layers of dark berry fruit flavours with a touch of spice and a fine, silky tannin structure. The well-integrated French oak leaves the palate full yet soft with great complexity and length.

 

Cellaring: Careful cellaring up to 10 years will be rewarded.

A winemaker selection of either the western or eastern blocks across the estate’s holdings that is is increasingly and inevitably, I am told, from the eastern side.

 

With the shading and attenuated ripening pattern, justifiably so. The result compacts a density of dark to mulberry fruit scents, with a leafy freshness embedded across a sinewy, firm tannic fiber.

 

Far more structured and authoritative than the other blocks due to tighter packed, compact grapes. This higher quotient of skin to liquid ratio imparts a full-bodied textural intrigue. Almost Italianate in its dry, structural pose. Savoury and inimitably Hunter.

The Brokenback Vineyard, Pokolbin, was planted in the 1970's by a visionary group led by the late, legendary, Len Evans, AO, OBE. Over the ensuing years the vines have produced premium wines under a variety of labels. In 2008 the vineyard then in two parts, was purchased privately and amalgamated.

Made from Chardonnay grapes grown on our Brokenback Vineyard this refined sparkling wine displays aromas of almonds laced with elegant melon fruit flavours. The vibrant palate has a generous but delicate refreshing citrus core with a complex creamy finish.

Enjoy this early drinking style on any occasion.
