Gundog Estate Hilltops Shiraz No. 1 2024

Also from the superb 2024 vintage, this is a blend from various vineyards from the Hilltops, providing for a richer style. A little Moppity Shiraz has been included. Crimson/magenta, the nose reveals notes of truffles and warm earth, rose petals and kirsch, licorice, blackberries, beef stock and cloves. This is slightly more austere and likely more long-lived than the No 2. It finishes with fine powdery tannins. The wine has good balance and length and is surely going to provide pleasure for the next ten to twelve years.
