Tasting profile
Structure: full-bodied, medium tannin, medium acidity, dry
Single-vineyard Barossa Shiraz from Hewitson's Falkenberg site. Rich but not heavy — blackberry and dark plum with black pepper, dark chocolate and a dried-herb savouriness, carried on tannins that are supple and finely grained rather than chewy. The house style favours brightness and length over sheer weight, so the Barossa fruit depth arrives with freshness alongside it rather than in place of it.
