The historic Steven vineyard was planted in 1968. Ever since the red volcanic soils have produced some of the Hunter Valley’s most outstanding wines. This 2011 vintage is a classic Hunter Valley shiraz, with great fruit, spice and elegance. A medium bodied shiraz that will drink well as a young wine but will reward those patient enough to stash it away for another 10-15 years.
The Single Vineyard range reveals the unique character of the Hunter Valley’s finest vineyards. Produced in small quantities and only in exceptional vintages, the wines are brought to life using modern viticultural and winemaking techniques
Aromas of rich red berry fruits and subtle sweet spices intertwine with earthy notes. On the palate, red cherries and raspberries are accented by clove, complemented by regional earthiness. Firm tannins and bright acidity offer a mediumbodied style with lingering length. A well-balanced wine epitomising the iconic Hunter Valley Shiraz style
