Huon Hooke
Deep purple/red colour and a clean, fresh fragrant nose of berry fruits, including raspberry, red cherry and blackberry, with oak barely noticeable. There are elements of licorice as well, and the fruit is fully ripe. Full-bodied. The tannins are abundant and measured, balancing the fruit sweetness. The wine is approachable now, but also cellarable: balanced and complete. Great value for money. (The Great Australian Shiraz Challenge 2015 winner)
