Description

Dean Hewitson says a very good friend of his challenged me to produce a traditional, full-bodied Barossa Valley wine with the only criteria that it could be drunk young at lunch or dinner and did not stray from my fundamental wine making philosophies. French oak, fine grained tannins, balance, clear fruit expression! Those who know him well know that he just loves a good challenge!

Review
This has always been a crowd pleaser. Hewitson’s goal from the start was to make an immediately approachable Barossa shiraz that could also handle cellaring for up to 10 years. Well, it has certainly met the first part of that, and I have no doubt it will comfortably meet the second. Plush and generously appointed shiraz with lashings of chocolaty dark plummy flavours. The tannins are well managed to support the palate while the oak completes the final piece of a very good wine. Love it.
