This is the result of sourcing fruit from Hewitson vineyard and other growers and then performing a barrel cull to get to this final blend. It’s such an elegant and stylish expression of the Barossa, that in many ways is atypical. Yet there is the deep concentrated intensity and richness, but it’s presented and displayed with a finely poised elegance. The palate length is a feature as it bounces along to an extraordinarily long finish.
