Growing in deep sandy soils, free of pests and diseases these old vines are strong, resilient and true to type. With red-ripe berries and golden-ripe stalks the grapes were picked at optimum ripeness, destemmed and gently crushed leaving some whole berries intact then fermented in open vats with heading down boards for three weeks, pressed then matured in old French barriques on lees for fifteen months. After this maturation period the wine was carefully racked and bottled as an exclusive cuvée.\"\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e- Hewitson\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Dean Hewitson’s winery is situated beside the Para River at 66 Seppeltsfield Road in the heart of the Barossa Valley, hence the naming convention. Grower and estate Shiraz parcels are groomed towards this exceptional wine, matured for 18 months in French casks before a final barrel selection is blended to be a best of the best expression. Easy in weight and style at 13.5%abv, the single most important sense here is its purity. Of the vinous elements: aromas of plum juices, native bushes and creek stones; flavours that reveal more and more palate fragrance on top of spicy peppered fruit, with a fresh and lively undercurrent acidity, enlivening and moreish, exciting to drink now yet with a backbone that suggests many more years of cellaring will only enhance this exhibition of Barossa Shiraz mastery. 98 Points”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e - Tony Love \u003c\/strong\u003e(Wine Pilot)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStyle \/ Variety: Shiraz\u003cbr\u003eRegion: Barossa Valley, SA\u003cbr\u003eABV: 13.5%\u003cbr\u003eVol: 750ml\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hewitson","offers":[{"title":"Single","offer_id":47690069541122,"sku":"2001287","price":450.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0759\/6149\/9906\/files\/20260429_Hewitson-Cask66BarossaShiraz2024750ml_1.jpg?v=1777505783","url":"https:\/\/carwyncellars.com.au\/products\/hewitson-cask-66-barossa-shiraz-2024-750ml","provider":"Carwyn Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
