Gundog Estate Hunter’s Shiraz 2023

So sleek, so good. Old vines shine in this lightly savoury, lovely, medium-bodied encapsulation of a Hunter Shiraz. Brings all the regional strengths to the glass; the plums, black fruits and blueberries, aniseed, spice and cacao. They all roll together in a perfectly drinkable harmony where tidy, firm tannins, just a touch savoury and interesting, rule. No need to think deep and meaningful thoughts while sipping this wine, it’s a wine that asks you to cook something easy, sit down and enjoy a glass. It’s warm and plummy and inviting. It’s all you need and if you want something to age, it can be that, too.
