Tasting profile (AI-generated)
Structure: medium-bodied, medium tannin, medium acidity, dry
This Hunter Valley Shiraz comes from a dry-farmed, low-yielding old vineyard, giving a savoury, earthy style rather than a big, ripe, high-alcohol expression. Expect medium body with red and dark fruit alongside notes of leather, dried herbs and earth, framed by moderate tannin and fresh acidity. It is a food-friendly, restrained style built for structure and savouriness over sheer power.
