Thomas Wines Sweetwater Ridge Shiraz 2022

 


Previously known as the Sweetwater, the 2022 release sees a tiny tweak to the name now known as Sweetwater Ridge due to a naming rights issue. I'm sure Thommo would happily describe to you what transpired over a Peroni... Regardless, this is a robust expression of Hunter Valley Shiraz.

From the Belford subregion where the soils are ironstone with limestone below, this is dense and lobs a full pitch delivery your way. Red fruits aplenty are highlighted by strawberries and raspberries, I even detected a little mushroom umami. Ripples of earth, cloves and soft spices move to firmish and dusty tannins that run to an elongated finish. Serve with beef and you're set.

Drink to eight years+
