Hobbs Gregor Shiraz 2019

This beautiful Barossa shiraz has had the Rolls Royce treatment in the vineyard and in the winery, and to name all the TLC it’s received would take a very long time. Here are the basics: a fantastic growing season, handpicked grapes left to dry before processing (al la Amarone della Valpolicella, to intensify flavours) and 100% new French oak for two years. The resulting wine is like a bear hug from a gentle giant - it’s warm, filling and feels fantastic. Rich, ripe fruit is wrapped up in dark chocolates and mocha, alongside robust tannins that will see this wine good to cellar for a couple of decades. It is a decadent and truely impressive wine.
