Gundog Estate Hunter’s Shiraz 2022

From old vineyards, specifically Will’s Hill and Tinkler’s, the wine spent a year maturing in French oak puncheons. Blood red in colour, this is soft, earthy and generous. We have touches of red fruits, cherries and mushrooms. Attractive and youthful, there are ever-so-silky tannins with good length and a lingering finish. A mid-weight style which could do with a fraction more intensity on the finish, but that may come with time and this has plenty of time ahead of it.
