Classic Shiraz Hunter Valley 2023
Regular price $45.00This Hunter Valley Shiraz is a refined expression of site, season, and careful winemaking.
Hand-harvested in the cool of early morning from select blocks across our Dalwood and Sweetwater Vineyards, the fruit was picked for freshness and balance before being matured for 12 months in French oak barriques (50% new, with the remainder in seasoned oak). The result is a Shiraz that layers subtle spice and oak complexity over vibrant, expressive fruit.
In the glass, it’s deep ruby with purple hues. Aromas of blackberry, dark cherry, and plum lead into notes of black pepper, clove, and dried herbs. The palate is medium-bodied and supple, with dark fruit, hints of dark chocolate and espresso, and silky tannins carrying through to a long, composed finish.
A beautifully structured Shiraz with both generosity and restraint — and exceptional value while it’s in the EOFY sale.

95 Points - Wine Pilot - Shanteh Wale
"A halo of dotted violet florals surround raspberry, black cherries and rhubarb. Kalamata olives swim in rosemary scented brine. A touch of pink peppercorn too. Tannins are quite grainy and will see this wine age well, for now it adds chew and a gauze like grip, deepening textural complexity. Flavours linger long and wide with some subtle cedar and cassia bark spice. Taut with quivering energy and a wonderful assembly of fruit, herbs, soil and spice. Excellent value, buy it by the dozens. Partner with lamb cutlets, the fat juicy ones."
