Hatch St Johns Shiraz 2023

Comes mostly from a single vineyard in Lyndoch within the Barossa and after gentle fermentation and plunging it was matured for 17 months in mostly seasoned French oak and about 20% American. Hatcher has chosen not to use any new oak, and it seems to be a good call. The fruit has power, poise and structure. Has a grainy minerality contributing to its vibrancy and energy. A classy wine from a classy winemaker.
