Winemakers Comments
Our ‘Two of a Kind’ wines are a tribute to the multi regional blends that created some of Australia’s best wines in the 50’s and 60’s. The wines are based on the Hunter Valley’s signature varieties of Semillon and Shiraz, and blending with the varieties that are well suited to other South Australian regions providing an interesting twist and extra dimension to these unique wine styles.
This is a blend of Hunter Valley Shiraz (58%) from the Motel Block and Pokolbin Estate vineyards, and McLaren Vale Shiraz (42%). The two components are fermented separately, but then blended soon after pressing, and then matured in premium quality French and American oak barriques for about 16 months prior to bottling. During this time, the penetrating spice and savoury structure of the Hunter Shiraz merges with the rich, plum like fruit and fleshy texture of the McLaren Vale, resulting in a seamless, seductive and dangerously drinkable style.
Tasting Notes
A complex array of characters such as dark berry fruits, pepper, mushroom and earth which are constantly changing in the glass. This wine has the attributes to cellar well over the next five to ten years, yet its fruit intensity and supple tannin structure make it enjoyable in its youth, particularly with food.
