Best's Hamill Shiraz 2021, Great Western
I love the history of this family vineyard and the wines from this single vineyard block.
Deep ruby. Moreish and inviting aromas of ripe red berries and dark cherry, with subtle whole-bunch spice, savoury herbs and delicate oak. Medium-bodied and silky.
The palate is generous and fleshy, with layers of red and dark fruit supported by well-integrated tannins and balanced acidity. Whole-bunch spice adds complexity and structure, while 14 months in French oak contributes depth. The finish is long, with silky textures and earth. Grab a six pack and drink one bottle every couple of years for the next 12 to really see the beauty.
Vino Masters Score: 96/100 ★★★★★
A distinguished single-vineyard Shiraz from Sugarloaf Creek, combining generous fruit, refined spice and classic Great Western character.
Decant for sixty minutes
