The Braydun Hill flagship, a single vineyard Shiraz of sound structure, controlled power and grace, which consistenty claims conspicuous national wine show awards, vintage after vintage. The auspicious southern ocean breezes and maritime climes stimulate the vines into yielding meagre harvests of intensely flavoured fruit. Defined by an exquisite balance between malleable tannins, elegant acidity and creamy nutmeg oak, Braydun Hill showcases the luscious, nutella berry characters of all good things McLaren Vale, small yield, boutique vineyard Shiraz at it's finest.
Subtle variations from one year to another reflect the uniqueness of each growing season upon the precious Braydun Hill Vineyard. The dedicated and inspiring viticulture of Carol and Tony Dunn ensures consistency of quality and purity of the wine, as it expresses the true nature of a sophisticated, albeit generously proportioned McLaren Vale Shiraz. Exclusively hand picked parcels of fruit from the clean and green, pestiscide free estate vineyard, are treated to an old world style, minimalist vinification in traditional fermenters, followed by transfer to a selection of French and American oak barrels for completion of malolactic and maturation until assemblage in September.
TASTING NOTES
Deep red colour. Fragrant nose of chocolate mints, currants and red berry fruit notes, blackcurrants and plum, raspberries and cassis. A richly layered palate of boysenberry and raspberry, supported by staves of cocoa oak and regional spearmint characters. An exceptionally long, elegant balance between refined natural acidity, ripe juicy fruit and supple velvety tannins.

More About Braydun Hill Wines
Carol and Tony Bradley Dunn work on their own small acre vineyard and are devoted to exclusively producing the finest quality Shiraz
The philosophy at Braydun Hill is to do one thing well, and to excel at it. Experience gained at making hand made wines from fruit picked off hedgerows on the English countryside told Bradley-Dunn that Braydun Hill was the ideal grape growing site and lead to vines being planted in 1998. The vineyard is 10 beautiful acres of gentle north facing slopes on a rare patch of Paringa sandy loam over clay in the McLaren Vale, perfect for quality grape vines. The natural sloping of the Braydun Hill's terrain provides for quality ripening. The ocean breezes and maritime climate cool the summer sun and help keep the vines from the mildew and other diseases that more protected vineyards often suffer. This means that Braydun Hill's winemakers have never used any pesticides in the vineyard and have no need for artificial chemicals. Braydun Hill»
