2022 Gundog Estate Smoking Barrel Shiraz
Shiraz
An eclectic blend of Shiraz from Hunter Valley and Hilltops vineyards
Description
This modern wine sees Hunter Valley and Hilltops Shiraz thoughtfully blended to deliver a medium bodied wine of outstanding intensity and balance. The Smoking Barrel Shiraz makes a fine companion to a hearty winter stew and is ready to drink now or after several years in the cellar. The combination of contrasting regions and vineyard sites manages to deliver a wine of great interest and appeal. An exotically fragranced nose featuring dark berries, clove, and spicy French oak, leads onto a fleshy palate boasting great natural balance and length of flavour. A medium bodied style that will reward short to medium term cellaring.
