With Tyrrell’s Stevens Vineyard and Mount Pleasant nearby, it’s a good neighbourhood for a project built around classic Hunter character.  \"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eMagic dirt up there!\" as Brendan puts it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThis is Hunter Valley Shiraz made for lovers of lighter reds, with plenty of flavour and no need for extra weight. The winemaking keeps things fresh, using stainless steel and mostly older barrels, with just a little new oak. A portion of whole bunches adds gentle grip and savoury detail.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt's very floral, with cherry and raspberry notes, pepper and a little earthy, dried-herb character. It’s supple and refreshing, with fine tannins that build through the finish, giving this light red more substance than its colour suggests. It looks both classic and contemporary all at once.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA modern take on Hunter River Burgundy, with old vines and a light touch making a strong case for this historic and much-loved style of Shiraz.
