Hewitson Baby Bush Mourvèdre 2021

A ‘selection massale’ from the Old Garden Vineyard which was planted back in 1853. So basically what the team term the ‘babies’ of the parent vineyard. 50% whole bunches and subsequently, maturation for 18 months in seasoned French oak barriques. Deep red hue. This is burly, concentrated and muscular – ideal for those who love a big red. There are notes of coffee grinds, black fruits, herbs, beef stock, warm earth and some truffle notes before a mid-length palate moving to silky tannins with more chocolate on the palate. This should impress over the next six to eight years.
