• 91 POINTS, HALLIDAY WINE COMPANION 2020

NSW Hilltops has built its reputation on two classic varieties – shiraz and cabernet sauvignon – both grown on the FREEMAN Altura Vineyard.

TASTING NOTES
An intense blackberry coloured savoury wine distinguished by light pepper and spice aromas and distinctive dark cherry fruit underpinned by integrated vanillin oak. A complex wine that hovers entrancingly between elegance and power; refined tannin frame and length. Enjoy with a seared Wagyu steak.

WINEMAKING
The Altura Vineyard encompasses a block of over 40-year-old shiraz vines, now showing that vine maturity contributes to exceptional intensity and balance when blended with more recent plantings. Selected parcels are chosen to craft this complete and complex shiraz hallmarked by its Hilltops origins.

The 2018 vintage season was pretty well by the book. Good rain when needed in November and December, then dry with moderate heat ideal for long, slow steady ripening. Picked a bit later than average allowing the fully ripe grapes to show intense flavour and balance.
