JJ Hahn Western Ridge Shiraz 2023

The fruit here is sourced from the team’s Western Ridge vineyards, including Greenock, Stone Well, Marananga and Seppeltsfield. They also use 5% whole bunches in the fermentation. Maturation is for a year and a half in a mix of American and French oak hogsheads, 20% of which is new. Deep garnet in hue, this is a big and bold Barossa Valley Shiraz, with aromas weaving through notes of mushrooms, chocolate, black fruits, licorice, coffee grinds and dried herbs. Ripe flavours throughout, there is an expressive palate with a sleek texture through to very fine tannins. A wine of excellent length, enjoy this over the next decade.
