Winemaker Dean Hewitson likes his wines to be bold and expressive, and he has access to the right type of Barossa Shiraz for this approach to make clear sense. This is a keen observation of a single clonal selection from an 1853 vine planted in the Barossa and propagated on Hewitson’s Old Garden Vineyard. It offers an especially dark, funky nose of pungent blackberry, black plum and cassis that also translates into a plate that is dense without being overly heavy – emphasised by its modest 13% alcohol. With hints of mocha and olive also at play, it has a lingering presence that offers more nuance that you’d expect from such a big-framed bear of a wine.
