March 8, 2022Our News

A bigger, more muscular Shiraz than we are used to from the Hunter, but it's well worth sinking your teeth into. Give it some air and you will be rewarded deluxe. An excellent wine! Purple fruits and dark berries go deep and sit long. It's that D&M conversation that seemingly lasts forever with no time...
