Red

Appearance: Vibrant red/purple colour with a crimson hue.

Bouquet: A fragrant red and black fruit bouquet with delicate oak in the background.

Palate: This generous wine displays spicy black fruit flavours with refreshing cherry cola characters dancing on the luscious medium bodied palate. The tannins are in complete harmony with the fruit.

Cellaring: Drinking well now or will further develop with medium term cellaring, 5 -7 years.

Appearance: Deep red/purple in colour with a vibrant crimson hue.

Bouquet: An intense bouquet of plum and spice with supporting oak.

Palate: This  Hunter Valley Shiraz displays a lovely fruit rich palate complexed with peppery and spicy notes. The polished tannins are ripe and supple. Combine this with quality French oak barrel maturation and the wine delivers a generous, well structured and sophisticated mouth feel with great length of flavour.

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.
