'It hit me like a bolt of lightning!' these are the words of wine writer Huon Hooke when he first tasted the 2016 Silkman Shiraz Pinot Noir. This wine just has so much flavour, elegant with floral notes, quite lovely.
We have been huge fans of this wine since it arrived because, quite simply, it just tastes so good! A relatively common blend in the Hunter 80 or so years ago, Shiraz Pinot Noir is now enjoying a fantastic resurgence among young Hunter winemakers.
Showing floral notes of blueberries and spice, undertones of cassis and dark cherries this is an extremely moreish wine. Elegantly structured, the blend combines the rich earthy tones of Hunter Valley Shiraz with the vibrancy of Pinot Noir.
