Andrew Thomas' exploration of great Hunter Valley sites continues.
The Herlestone Vineyard was an integral part of the Rothbury Shiraz releases back in the 70s and 80s. Found beside Mount Pleasant's Rosehill vineyard on red soils, this saw third and fourth use oak to ensure the fruit expressed itself. There is plenty to enjoy here.
Pretty red fruits dazzle early on with black fruits tucking in behind. That earthiness rumbles along with char and firm, dusty tannins. A steak night special, the fruit wasn't worked hard in the winery to ensure it shows its best self. A very tasty medium-bodied Hunter Valley Shiraz awaits.
