Barossa Valley Mataro Shiraz Hoffmann DV

Tasting profile

Structure: full-bodied, high tannin, medium acidity, dry

Mataro — the Australian name for Mourvèdre — leads this Barossa blend, with Shiraz filling out the mid-palate. Barossa Mataro gives a darker, earthier and more savoury wine than Shiraz on its own: black plum and blackberry over a distinctly leathery, earthy base, with black pepper and dried herbs across the finish. The 2022 vintage in the Barossa was cooler and later than the run of years before it, which shows here as firmer acidity and more restraint than the region's reputation would suggest. Full-bodied, with substantial and slightly rustic tannin.
