Hewitson The Ancients Shiraz 2020

Single vineyard wine where the whole bunch and old oak tempers the style and means this wine is not going to be a massive stomper. Such a pretty nose with violets and lavender, a potpourri vibe, think nana’s cupboard – the good one. More medium bodied with pithy tannins, juicy blackberry fruit and restrained vanilla oak. My favourite part is the drying chalkiness on finish.
