HUNTINGTON ESTATE SHIRAZ 2021 ($34 / Mudgee NSW)
Best Shiraz Trophy & Most Outstanding Red Wine of Show at the 2023 Mudgee Wine Show
Robust both in the generous upfront fruit and tannin components, it delivers immediate appeal both in aromas and palate grip.
The fruit profile is of blackberries, plums and a hint of leather.
These attributes are delivered with typical Mudgee muscularity and grunt.
This 2021 Estate Shiraz is generous, punchy and earthy, albeit with a supportive framework of glycerol warmth and mid-palate astringency.
It would show further integration with some cellaring.
