Richard Hamilton Centurion Shiraz McLaren Vale, South Australia – 2019
CHF 49.00CHF 35.00
Planted in 1892, this vineyard is amongst the oldest in the McLaren Vale, indeed in Australia. The gnarly Shiraz vines are grown in grey loams over old river clay with underlying limestone. The combination of site and old vines produces a lovely, elegant yet powerful style of wine. The vineyard is hand pruned and harvested. The climate is moderate and tempered by the cool sea breezes from the Southern Ocean some 8 kilometres away.
“There is remarkable density of tannin and flavor here. The 2019 Centurian Shiraz presents a seamless splay of spicy fruit and fine tannin in the mouth; it has gravitas and weight, but it has class and restraint, too. The tannins are almost the highlight (fine, grippy, chewy), which is saying something, because the fruit is epic. Really good. Really.” 94+/100pts Wine Advocate
