Museum ReleaseGundog Estate Rare Game Shiraz
2018 Shiraz, Hunter Valley, New South Wales
Red soils, low-cropping vines, and ruthless fruit selection
Description
Rare Game Shiraz 2018 is a very special wine that is produced from Shiraz grown on two fo the most highly regarded terroirs in the Hunter Valley; the Somerset 1970 plantings and Tinkler’s Vineyard "48 Block". Red soils, low cropping vines and ruthless fruit selection have combined to deliver a modern style of Hunter Shiraz from a classic vintage. Showing great complexity and poise, Gundog Rare Game Shiraz 2018 offers a bold array of dark fruit flavours, charry French oak and spice, carried over a pure line of natural acidity and savoury tannin. While extremely drinkable now, this Shiraz can be aged gracefully over the next five to ten years for additional development of flavours.
