The Adelaide Hills make elegant yet solidly structured Shiraz. A number of individual parcels and rows on the Wicks estate vineyard are separately picked according to ripeness, treated to the rigors of hand plunging and pumpover, followed by a gentle press into a selection of seasoned and new French oak barriques for a term of age before the final, artful assemblage. A beautifully proportioned style of Shiraz, fleshy of red currants and dark indigo plum, juicy and plump yet chiselled and refined, wrapped around a framework of nimble brambleberry tannins and lithely spiced, nutmeg cedar oak.
