Wine Description
The Story
Sourced from a small selection of our favorite shiraz blocks, the grapes were both hand and machine picked before fermentation in the traditional open top vats. The wine was then matured in older, large format French oak casks. These 2,700 litre casks highlight the fruit purity whilst making sure that oak isn't the dominant character.
Wine Information
The ‘baby brother’ to our famous Vat 9 Shiraz, our Hunter Valley Shiraz is made to the same high standards that our agship Shiraz receives.
VINTAGE CONDITIONS – A perfect growing season was experienced in the hunter valley for the 2014 vintage. Fine, dry weather produced lower crops with amazing concentration and depth of avours. Arguably the nest red vintage in the Hunter Valley since the famed 1965 vintage.
