Description

Hewitson 1853 Shiraz Mourvedre Blend 2018One barrel each of 1853 vine Shiraz and 1853 vine Old Garden Mourvedre, blended. 20% whole bunches, three weeks on skins, all 'freshly seasoned' French oak. This wine will be added to Australia's Most Expensive Wines list. It's a plump red wine, plush, made to feel ripe and round in the mouth. Cuddly is the word I'm looking for. There are saltbush, graphite, twig and game notes but the overwhelming impression is one of sweet, raisined, dense fruit

dense fruit flavour

Whatever the challenges of the growing season

Bouquet of stone fruit

It's a blend of three vintages

more strawberry than raspberry

is just as well as this could use more depth anyway

‘The 2019 Flaccianello della Pieve is another potent wine from Fontodi in this vintage

Tyrrell's and Vat 9 are certainly in a bit of a purple patch here

with huge intensity

from Cannubi Boschis

This impressively rich Auslese boasts a compelling finish animated by lemon curd and slate
