Hewitson Ned & Henry’s Shiraz 2021

If Dean’s daughter, Harriet (Miss Harry), was going to have a wine named in her honour, you can bet the older brothers were not going to let her have all the glory. Hence, we have the Ned and Henry’s Shiraz. And with the cracking 2021 vintage, the entire family must be delighted with this wine. Stellar stuff and amazing value. Vine age for this Barossa Shiraz is thirty years plus. Almost 100% whole berries and subsequent maturation in seasoned French oak barriques. Deep purple. There are notes of cassis, tobacco leaves, blackberries as well as a touch of blueberries, along with bergamot, dark cooking chocolate and more. A mid-weight style, nicely balanced and with a lingering finish supported by silky tannins. This has a good ten years ahead and so much to like here.
