Hewitson Ned & Henry’s Barossa Valley Shiraz 2022

Another generous big hug straight from the Barossa. Dean Hewitson specialises in producing some of the friendliest reds in the country that come well-priced and bursting in flavour. Ned and Henry’s was created on a dare when the maker was challenged to produce a traditional, full-bodied Barossa wine that could be drunk young. Consider challenge met. An arresting bouquet in black fruits, plum, chocolate, liquorice, earth and spice. Sets the scene nicely for what follows with fruits dressed in warm vanillin French oak and supple tannins.
