Hewitson Ungrafted Shiraz 2024, Barossa Valley

Hewitson Ungrafted Shiraz 2024, Barossa Valley

Deep ruby-purple with excellent depth.

The nose is lifted and expressive, revealing red and dark fruits of plum, raspberry and blackberry layered with subtle spice.

The palate is medium to full-bodied and finely textured, offering vibrant plum, raspberry and blackberry supported by fine tannins and balanced acidity. A savoury edge and gentle spice build through the mid-palate, leading to a long, pure and expressive finish. Freshness and structure speak clearly to the character of these Barossa ungrafted vines.

A distinctive Barossa Shiraz showing purity, structure and site character.

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. Dean Hewitson.
