Hewitson - Strawberry Hill Shiraz 2024 750ml
"Named for the old strawberry patch cultivated over generations nearby, this vineyard sits at elevation of 265 metres on a limestone ridge in iron-rich loam over deep brown clay." - Hewitson
"Always a joy to see the latest from Hewitson in the Barossa. Inevitably, they will be quintessential representations of the region, offer the potential of great longevity if that is your thing, and provide cracking drinking. This wine is named after the family’s old strawberry patch which grows alongside the vineyard which provided the fruit for this wine. The team like to use whole berries without stalks and then mature the wine in French oak barriques of varying ages for a year and a half. A gleaming purple/maroon, the nose reveals aromas of plums, cherries, bergamot, mocha, kirsch, cold tea, cigar boxes and herbs. Gorgeous stuff and we then move to a supple and focused palate which runs through to the very fine, velvety tannins. Impressive length here with bright acidity, the wine maintains intensity for the full journey. A fifteen year proposition. 96 Points." - Ken Gargett (Wine Pilot)
