Wine Profile
Vineyard Notes
The 2022 vintage was gripped by La Nina weather patterns, starting in July 2020 and the rain just kept coming. Our diligent attention to detail in the vineyard through crop thinning and opening up the canopy have meant that our vineyards produced excellent fruit quantity and quality. As the vineyard was managed well we have produced a classic medium bodied Hunter reds.
Production Notes
Fruit thinning was carried out across the Shiraz block to 1.7Tonne / hectare. The hand harvested fruit was matured in 80% French and 20% American oak for 10 month prior to bottling
Food Pairing Notes
Herb crusted rack of lamb, red meats, cheddar or edham cheeses
