Description
Vibrant, charming , medium-bodied dry red, a unique co-ferment of Pinot Noir (50%) and Shiraz (50%). A tribute to the wines made in the 1920's by legendary Hunter Valley winemaker Maurice O'Shea and a wine to showcase our sites and the season. Very bright mid-crimson red. Good density. Highly aromatic florals, blue and red fruits, lovely spices. The Pinot Noir component gives the wine the red fruit and the framework of tension/structure whilst the Shiraz adds the plump soft blue fruits, juiciness and charm to the blend. This wine is designed to drink young, however due to such a fruit driven season it will reward careful cellaring over the next 5+ years.
