This Shiraz is made from grapes selected from five vineyards in the Hilltops district around Young on the South Western Slopes of New South Wales. The 2018 vintage continues a run of warm vintages for the Hilltops region. The vineyards appear to take the heat in their stride however. The vines responded by producing rich black Shiraz with great depth of flavour. Drink now or cellar with confidence. This wine may surprise and delight you with five to ten years in the bottle. 14% Alc/Vol
Vivid is the best way to describe this wine. From the purple-red colour to the black fruit, red florals and dark spices that leap forward. And the high contrast palate of sapid, crunchy fruit tannins, and bright acidity. Youthful, unrestrained glory. Unpolished and raw.
