Gundog Estate Hunter’s Shiraz 2024

Selected from older vines from two sites in the Hunter Valley, including the famous Lovedale sub-region, maturation here is for a period of fourteen months in French oak puncheons, around 20% of them new. 446 cases made. A gleaming crimson/blood red colour, the nose exhibits alluring notes of cherries, cloves, truffles, freshly unearthed soil, dried herbs, florals and raspberries. A silky, creamy texture through to wonderfully silky tannins, the wine has exceptional length. On the palate we see hints of rose petals emerging. A wine of focus and flavour, this is utterly delicious drinking now and will continue to be so over the next ten to fifteen years.
