Intense purple black colour with rich nose of black current fruit. This vintage was hand- picked commencing at Dawn, March 19…at a pleasant 14°C. Good rains in January followed by a complete dry spell of 4 weeks up to harvest, gave exceptional richness and quality to the fruit…which can now be enjoyed in the wine. Cellar potential at least 8 years.
The Story
This Shiraz was grown on our daughter Kim's home block (which is also ACO Certified) and managed by us using organic and environmental techniques developed by Martins Hill over 20 years. The intense black/purple colour and rich blackcurrant fruitiness is testament to the Mudgee terrior, coupled with our sustainable and chemical free practices. Drinking well at release but with a cellaring potential of 6-8 years.
