Category: Wine
Sub-Category: Red wine

Hewitson's 1853 Barrel Shiraz Mourvèdre is equal parts blend of the best barrel each of Monopole Shiraz and Old Garden Mourvèdre. 

65% whole bunch, remainder crushed and destemmed. Three weeks on skins with pump overs. 18 months' maturation in new and freshly seasoned French oak barriques.

Deep and dark forest and orchard fruits with intense spices and savoury herbaceous notes.

The palate is greeted by a burst of concentrated dark fruit flavours, rich and round with loads of black fruits, supported by firm tannins and a well-balanced acidity.

The finish is long and satisfying, with lingering hints of spice and a touch of oak from careful barrel aging.

This wine is perfect for those seeking a powerful yet elegant red wine experience.

Pair the Hewitson 1853 Barrel Shiraz Mourvèdre with grilled meats, hearty stews, or aged cheeses for a truly memorable meal.
