2022 Hewitson Miss Harry Grenache Shiraz Mourvedre, Barossa Valley

41/39/20% grenache/shiraz /mourvèdre from old, dry-grown bush vines, 45% whole bunches and 12 months maturation in old French oak barrels. Bright magenta crimson with oodles of bright red cherry, wild strawberry and cranberry fruit tones on a bed of exotic spice with hints of citrus blossom, dried herbs, red licorice, gingerbread and roasting meats. Calm, savoury and pure sporting a wicked red and dark fruit flow, gentle tannins and, the bottom line is, it's a real joy to drink.
