Description
This award-winning Shiraz, recognised with a Silver Medal at the 2023 Hunter Valley Wine Show and rated 4.5 Stars by the Newcastle Herald on 21 June 2023, is a distinguished expression of Hunter Valley winemaking. Crafted from a heritage vineyard over a century old in Pokolbin, it reflects both the region's rich history and exceptional terroir.
The wine delivers intense flavours of ripe blackberry and blueberry, beautifully balanced by savoury notes of olives and spicy charcuterie. The mouthfilling palate is further enhanced by slightly grippy, velvety tannins that provide structure and depth. The finish is long and satisfying, showcasing the wine’s elegance and ageworthiness.
Ideal for pairing with hearty dishes such as slow-cooked lamb, chargrilled steak, or rich mushroom-based meals, this Shiraz also has the potential to develop further complexity with careful cellaring. A true classic, it celebrates the unique character and craftsmanship of Hunter Valley Shiraz.
