Huon Hooke
Very deep red/purple colour, the bouquet lovely and fresh, clean and deep in various black fruit aromas. A full-bodied, concentrated, profound wine with lush fruit and delicious flavour. A refreshing, clean, firm-tannin finish that resonates on and on, partly as a result of high alcohol. A textbook shiraz. Big future indicated.

No frills winemaking, 55% tank-matured, 45% in barrel, 8% of which was new. There is some good fruit here, and it surprised with its gold medal at the Melbourne Wine Awards '16. It needs more time yet to show its best, but who knows. Drink to 2029.
