2018 Western Slopes Reserve Shiraz
$115.00
- +

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.

2021 Malabar Reserve Shiraz

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.
