First Creek Hilltops Shiraz 2016

While the First Creek winery is located in the Hunter Valley, winemaker Liz Silkman sourced fruit from the Hilltops region to craft this lovely cool climate Shiraz expression.
 
In the glass: Deep red purple.
On the nose: Blackberry, mulberry and plum with five spice and pepper.
On the palate: Delivers power and precision with concentrated black fruits, lovely peppery cool climate spice and an almost perfect balance of acid and tannins. Quite delicious!
