McHenry Hohnen 'Hazels Vineyard' Zinfandel 2020

The Hazel’s Vineyard is in the southern part of the Margaret River region. The wines are hand harvested, whole bunch pressed and no additions of yeast, acid, yeast nutrient etc. Light bentonite fining only.

A lifted nose of spiced red plums, raspberries and star anise combine with red liquorice, cloves and cinnamon stick. The medium bodied palate displays cranberry confection, sour cherries and dried flowers, and is driven by a lovely natural acidity. The structure is silky, yet defined by smooth tannins. This fruit driven Zinfandel is guaranteed to please as a young wine but will improve with careful cellaring over the years.
