Such an approachable wine, it is no surprise that this Smoking Barrel is a popular choice in the Gundog Estate range. A 50/50 blend of Hunter Valley and Hilltops fruit, it's dense though it keeps its medium-bodied shape.
Cherry liqueur and pretty red petals aromas spill from the glass with handfuls of red berries and plums. There is an earthy drive courtesy of the Hunter component with cola and cedar chiming in late. Fruit bun spices tingle finishing with a cuddly warmth and dusty tannins. With a length that seems never ending, it's a tidy drink without a doubt and one that is ready for souvla night.
Drink to five years.
