Description
2019 Hunter vintage is a cracker!
Heralded as one of the best all round Vintages in the past 5 decades we have all been anticipating the Reserve 2019 release. This Shiraz in particular is fragrant and elegant, bursting with vibrant fruit.
A beautiful full bodied Hunter Shiraz, with a lengthy palate and complex structure.
The nose has rich aromas of sweet dark cherries and plums laced with soft spices and oak.
The flavours begin with rich bright red fruits that continue on into the soft, sweet and spicy middle palate. White pepper dominates, as the lovely smoky oak characters and hints of liquorice appear. The finish of this wine holds long soft silky tannins that are drawn out as they layer themselves across your palate.
CELLARING This will cellar beautifully for 12-15 years from the vintage year.
FOOD Your favourite cut of steak, with very few condiments. This wine is all you will need.
