Tasting profile
Structure: medium-bodied, medium tannin, medium acidity, dry
Piggs Peake work out of Pokolbin with a fondness for pig puns and a genuine willingness to push against Hunter convention, though the Shiraz sits closer to tradition than most of their range. Red plum and dark cherry with earth, black pepper, dried herb and the leathery savour the region develops with age. Medium-bodied with fine, powdery tannin and moderate alcohol. The Hunter's humid subtropical climate ought to be hopeless for wine and instead gives reds of unusual longevity at surprisingly light weight.
