Curator Wine Company Hamlets Shiraz 2024

From this vintage, the team decided to reassess vineyards for this wine, and now source fruit from vineyards in the Ebenezer, Nuriootpa and Kalimna sub-regions, with all planted post the 1950’s. They also incorporate a component of Stone Well Shiraz, which forms 20% of the blend. Maturation is for twelve months in older oak. A magenta/purple hue, this is a fresh and approachable style with notes of blackberries, chocolate, spices, cassis and coffee beans. Absolutely delicious, it is cracking drinking now and will continue to be over the next ten to twelve years. There is good intensity throughout, and a line of juicy acidity runs the length. Intense, concentrated and very long, this finishes with sleek tannins. There is much to love here.
