Description Hunter Valley Wine Show's 'Best Red Wine of Show', along with many more Trophies! Crafted from Hunter Shiraz fruit selected from 50-year-old vines. Plums and violets on the nose, with touches of lavender and licorice. Savoury nuances mingle with juicy fruits on the palate, framed by smooth tannins. "…lively jubiness to the fruit, all accentuated by a violet lift… benchmark medium-bodied Hunter red... 93pts" (Ned Goodwin MW, Halliday Wine Companion). "Palate is all about brightness and vibrancy. Super fresh fruits float across the tongue, held aloft with fine tannin frame and bright acids. Lots to keep you returning in this wine" (Stuart Knox, The Real Review).
The Hunter Valley is a region of New South Wales, Australia, extending from approximately 120 km (75 mi) to 310 km (193 mi) north of Sydney. The Hunter Valley is one of Australia’s best known wine regions, playing a pivotal role in the history of Australian wine and is one of the first wine regions planted all the way back in the early 19th century. Flanked by mountains to the west and north the Hunter Valley acts as a funnel, pulling cool ocean breezes into the area.
