When vintage conditions are favourable, the Hunter Valley is capable of producing some of Australia's finest Shiraz. This was certainly the case in the 2019 vintage, with the likes of De iuliis taking full advantage of a near perfect growing season.
This 2019 De iuliis Shiraz is a typically powerful yet approachable example of Hunter Valley Shiraz with pure fruit flavours balanced by spice and earthy characters. The palate offers soft mouth feel of fine-grained tannins, ripe plums and blackberries.
A medium to full bodied Hunter Shiraz this has the softness to be enjoyed now but is sure to develop further with a few years in the cellar. An exceptional Hunter Valley Shiraz with enormous appeal at this discounted price.
