‘Exceptional.’
98 Points & Special Value Wine James Halliday
Showcasing the terroir of the vineyard at work, and only produced in exceptional vintages, the best parcels of fruit from the Schoolhouse Block are hand-picked then fermented on skins for 14 days, 30% whole bunches, before being pressed into French oak puncheons (50% new) to mature over the next 12 months.
The wine spends are further 4 years maturing in bottle to let the flavours and aromas come together, backed by fine tannins and well-balanced acidity.
The 2014 Aristea Shiraz is a deep rich red wine with the balance, weight, concentration and power allowing development of wonderful complexity over many decades, demonstrating the heights that Shiraz can achieve in the Hunter Valley.
Only 150 cases produced.
“Cold soak followed by 10 days on skins, 20% whole bunches the remainder crushed and destemmed, matured in French hogsheads and puncheons for 12 months, 4 years in bottle before release. Terrific crimson hue; the top class vintage is developing precisely as a top class Hunter Valley shiraz should. The fruit is supple and smooth, the blackberry and black cherry flavours still pristine, the wine with decades of life in front of it. Exceptional.” – 98 Points & Special Value Wine James Halliday
