A little Hutton Vale Farm history if you don't mind... The original Shiraz cuttings were planted in the 60s and were sourced from Henschke's Mount Edelstone vineyard - handy pedigree that. There's polish here. A silky wine that moves with ease.
Delicate dark berries and fruits fuse with plums and blueberry compote. Made for the long haul, the cedary oak is a little overt for now but that will calm. There is some heft here too. Soft spices run a long course with dashes of licorice for interest. Mouth sapping, drying, dusty tannins on a long finish seal the deal. Looking for a long-term proposition? This won't disappoint.
