Hewitson - Monopole Mother Vine Shiraz
A single vineyard wine, the Shiraz here has all been cultivated from a single Shiraz vine, located in the Old Garden Vineyard, which was originally from 1853. In other words, for those to whom these things matter, this is the resurrection of a pre-phylloxera clone of the grape. 45% of the wine was whole bunches and the wine spent three weeks on skins.
This is an absolute superstar Barossa Shiraz. Pouring a deep purple/maroon, the nose is utterly gorgeous with mocha, blueberry, ripe plum, vanilla and cassis notes. The palate is dense but dancing. Finely balanced with an intriguing mix of finesse and power. If Barossa Shiraz can be ethereal, then this is it. The silkiest of tannins and such a lingering finish. Shows how good the 2021's can be!
- Varietal: Shiraz
- Region: Barossa Valley, SA
- Vintage: 2021
- ABV: 13.5%
- Size: 750ml
