De Iuliis Steven Vineyard Shiraz 2013

The red volcanic soils of the Hunter Valley’s historic Steven Vineyard have produced some outstanding wines like this De Iuliis Steven Vineyard Shiraz 2013 that was crafted by winemaker Mike De Iuliis.
 
Awarded Top Gold at the Hunter Valley Wine Show 2014 and included in the Top 100 Wines from the 2014 NSW Wine Awards, it opens with cherry and raspberry fruit aromas with elements of currant, black pepper, earth and leather on the nose. The palate is rich and spicy with a complex mix of fruit and earth over refined tannins.
