Wine Information

Hewitson
ADELAIDE, AUSTRALIA
Dean Hewitson tunnetaan viinintekijänä ja viinitalon omistajana, jota inspiroi erityisesti ranskalaiset, Rhônen laakson viinit ja niiden eleganssi. Viinitalonsa Dean perusti vuonna 1996. Aikaisemmin Dean työskenteli mm. kuuluisan Petaluma-viinitalon viinintekijänä. Viinitarhoja Hewitsonin omistuksessa on noin 6,5 hehtaaria Barossa-laaksossa ja 6 hehtaaria Adelaide Hillsin alueella. Omien tarhojen ohella Hewitson ostaa rypäleitä paikallisilta viljelijöiltä. Hewitsonin tuotantofilosofiana on käyttää rypäleitä mahdollisimman iäkkäistä köynnöksistä, jotka tuottavat vähemmän mutta laadukkaita rypäleitä. Vanhojen köynnösten vaikutuksen voi aistia Hewitsonin viineistä, jotka ovat tiiviitä, aromikkaita ja pitkiä maultaan. Hewitsonin punaviinit saavat kypsyä tammitynnyreissä, joista valtaosa on ranskalaisia. Uuden tammen määrä vaihtelee viinityypistä riippuen. Hewitsonin viinit ovat tyyliltään hyvin hienostuneita. Hewitson yrittää välttää liian tammisia ja uutteisia viinejä.

Rypälelajikkeet Grenache, Shiraz ja Mourvèdre

Kuvaus
Rypäleet tähän viinit on kerätty Barossa Valleysta, joka tunnetaan voimakkaista punaviineistään. Rypäleet on kerätty vanhoista köynnöksisä (50-80 vuotta) joita ei ole keinokasteltu. Käymisen jälkeen viini on saanut kypsyä pääosin ranskalaisissa tynnyreissä noin vuoden ajan.

Luonnehdinta
Syvän punainen väri. Tuoksu on runsas, kypsän hedelmäinen, yrttinen ja paahteinen. Maku on kypsän hedelmäinen, ryhdikäs ja hyvähappoinen.

Ruokasuositus
Erinomainen yleisviini liharuuille ja juustoille.

Lehdistö
94/100p James Halliday: Predominantly grenache and shiraz, with small amounts of mourvedre, carignan and cinsaut, sourced from 25 separate vineyard plots, five over 100 years old, half of the remainder over 50 years old. Medium-bodied, there is wonderful tension between the array of predominantly black fruits and the savoury tannins on the finish. The only question is why it is so underpriced.
