About the wine
Red hot and rich - a knockout Aussie gem!
- Bright, juicy red fruits, a hint of oak and soft, round tannins make this an approachable and incredibly easy drinking dry wine.
- The winter preceding the 2015 vintage was wetter than average, which assisted in allowing the vineyards to withstand several heatwaves experienced when the grapes started ripening. The fruit produced exceptional colour and flavour with well-balanced acid and tannin profiles.
- Hamish approaches his winemaking as if finely tuning an engine, injecting his passion and ability to innovate after patiently allowing Mother Nature work her magic of course!
Best before

Serving advice
The best way to really enjoy any red wine is to let it open up with an hour or so in a decanter.

- The reason Hamish's wines are so special? "They're from McLaren Vale… the grapes do most of the work themselves. Happy vines, happy wines..."
