Glenguin 'Stonybroke' Shiraz 2017

Glenguin Vineyard was first planted in the 1980s with an average vine age now over 25 years and each wine comes from a small individual vineyard block on the property. Organic and biodynamic farm ing principles are followed at Glenguin where things are still done by hand from planting through vine training to pruning and handpicking at vintage.

The Shiraz and Semillon vines at Glenguin are directly descended from James Busby’s original planting at Kirkton in the 1820s. They are planted on their own roots on a unique combination of a raised gravel bench for shiraz with sandy loam over red basalt for Semillon. 

"Estate-grown, 25% whole bunch. Matured for 14 months in French oak including 20% new. Classically medium-weight Hunter shiraz showing red and black fruit with a little influence from the oak. Fresh and juicy on the palate, there's also some fullness of texture and the light but persistent astringency contributes to the structure and firmness of finish." 95pts - Steve Creber - Wine Companion
