What’s an Australasian Wine Club case without a Barossa Shiraz? This example hails from talented winemaker Dean Hewitson, known for making wines with fine fruit expression and balance. Matured in French oak barriques for 15 months, it is full-bodied yet deliciously drinkable, with berry and oak spice character. Crack it open now and enjoy all the fresh vibrancy, or – if you can resist – cellar it for another decade to develop even more complexity.
About the producer
Hewitson have worked hard to decrease their environmental footprint, running the winery entirely on solar energy and recycling all the water used in cleaning and washing. Owner Dean Hewitson, who worked in France and the US before opening his eponymous winery in 1998, also encourages biodiversity to thrive throughout his vineyards.
Hear from the producer here:
The Barossa is synonymous with top-quality Shiraz. However, thanks to a complex range of valleys, hills and vineyard aspects, other varieties including Riesling and Cabernet Sauvignon excel too. Dean Hewitson makes the most of the ancient vines around him – some of the oldest in the world – taking cuttings to preserve historic clones for future generations.
Food Pairing
Try this with Wild Mushroom Arancini with Black Garlic Aioli & Crispy Sage. The wine’s full body stand up to the richness of the arancini, with its notes of spice and chocolate chiming well with the earthy mushrooms.
