Ziegler Hack Barrow GSM 2022

The traditional Rhône blend done with an Aussie accent; 40% Grenache, 40% Shiraz and 20% Mataro from a superb vintage. The Grenache saw no oak, but the other varieties spent a short time in oak barrels. Yes, ‘Hack Barrow’ might sound like a disease, but it is the name given to the transport which once moved moulded bricks and was subsequently reformed to move the fruit at harvest time for the family. Deep purple hue, the nose provides lifted notes of black cherries, florals, cloves, cranberries and mulberries. Mid length with a silky texture through to lusciously soft tannins with a gentle fade. Attractive now and over the next few years.
