Richard Hamilton CENTURION Old Vine Shiraz 2019

RICHARD HAMILTON CENTURION - 127 YEAR OLD VINE SHIRAZ

Planted in 1892, the vineyard is amongst the oldest in the region, indeed in Australia.
Situated at the back of the Old Hut Block, 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 Gulf of St. Vincent some 8 kilometres away.

Colour: Deep, dark red with bright scarlet hues.

Aroma: Beautifully integrated with the finest French oak, this elegant yet rich Shiraz has perfumed fruit showing plum and cherry nuances with hints of cloves and nutmeg.

Palate: Ripe, long, fine, silky tannins provide a wonderfully elegant structure to this Shiraz.
Its persistence of flavour finishes clean and tight.
