Planted in 1998 to the classic 1654 Shiraz clone, this block sits on red-brown loam over limestone at the very end of Sweetwater Road in Belford - ground that gives Shiraz its tell-tale violet lift and fine, detailed spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand-picked early in the 2023 harvest, the fruit was fermented as whole berries for brightness and perfume, then matured for 13 months in a mix of French hogsheads, only the best barrels making the final cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wine is a charmer: floral aromatics spill from the glass, violets and potpourri layered over raspberry, mulberry, and black plum. There’s a core of dark fruit generosity, dusted with pepper and five spice, but what really sets it apart is the line – sleek, floral, and mineral-tinged thanks to its limestone roots. Silky tannins hold everything neatly in place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlways a favourite among Thomas loyalists, this single-site Hunter Shiraz that punches well above its weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"If you love shiraz, you will adore this wine.
