Whispering Brook
2018 WHISPERING BROOK SINGLE VINEYARD HUNTER VALLEY SHIRAZ
$60 / 2033
21yo vines growing in red volcanic clay loam soils. Aged for 17 months in French barriques, hogsheads (30% new), and a puncheon. There’s a sense of polish and precision about this wine; Hunter shiraz with regional and varietal identity, but a touch of gloss as well. Medium weight, ripe red fruit, earth, spice and balanced astringency are the key ingredients. 14.5% alc.
