Hewitson Monopole Mother Vine Shiraz 2019

Share

Sourced solely from a 1-hectare vineyard showing depth and concentration, think fruit cake, mocha, chewy chalky tannins and dried black fruit complexity. Full bodied with earthy dried shitake mushroom with a big hit of black pepper. Make no mistake, this is a blockbuster and as such is everything you think it will be. Incredible weight on the palate with a sinewy tannic drive that tightens up the plush fruit. Not for the faint hearted.
