This is an elegant wine of red and black fruit characters, with lively spice and savory notes, combining weight and length with long soft tannins. Delicious on release this single vineyard shiraz will continue to develop in bottle for up to a decade or more.
The name Glenguin comes from the original Scots Gaelic name of the Highland Whisky distillery now called “Glengoyne”
Glenguin Vineyard was first planted in the 1980s with an average vine age now over 25 years and each wine comes from a small individual vineyard block on the property.
Organic and biodynamic farming practices are used at Glenguin where things are still done by hand from planting through vine training to pruning and handpicking at vintage. Glenguin wines have won major Trophies including NSW and Boutique Wine Show Trophies for best white wine plus both Best Red and NSW Wine of the Year at the NSW Wine Awards for shiraz. Production is extremely limited with just a few hundred cases of each of our wines which are only made in good vintages.
The Shiraz vines at Glenguin were taken as cuttings from some of the oldest blocks in the Hunter Valley and can be traced back to the original plantings by James Busby at Kirkton in the early 1830s.
Those cuttings were taken originally from the hill of Hermitage in France, giving Glenguin vines a link to the spiritual home of Syrah.
