Hewitson Miss Harry Grenache Blend 2022

Miss Harry is the nickname for Dean’s daughter, Harriet. The wine is a blend of 46% Grenache, 33% Shiraz and 31% Mourvèdre. The age of the vines range from the more youthful to century-old vineyards. There is around 50% whole bunches used here and then the wine saw ten months in seasoned French oak barrels. A terrific Barossa blend and excellent value, the colour is a vibrant magenta/violet. There are notes of spices, plums, red fruits, cloves, freshly turned warm earth and hints of chocolate. Seems to move more to the darker fruits on the palate, with blackberries and dark chocolate notes. Firm if fine grip with very good length, this has a decade ahead of it.
