Winemakers Comments
Kiss Shiraz is a cheeky name for a serious wine. It is an individual vineyard Hunter Valley Shiraz, grown on the tough clay/loam soils of the Pokolbin Estate vineyard (planted 1969). These naturally low cropping vines consistently produce fruit with exceptional depth and concentration. This is the benchmark Shiraz for Thomas Wines, expressing very the best qualities of each vintage. The first vintage of Kiss Shiraz was in 2001, and since that time, each vintage has received countless wine show awards and accolades.
Tasting Notes
A benchmark Hunter Shiraz from what is now regarded as a potential classic Hunter vintage. The wine greets you with a bright crimson purple. The nose displays a wonderful vibrancy and purity with aromas of red berried fruits and a subtly peppery spice. The palate displays concentrated dark berry fruits and earth with nicely integrated oak, all framed within a typically Hunter medium bodied structure. As would be expected with this flagship wine, it can be enjoyed now, or confidently cellared for 10 – 20 years.
