Hewitson Truffle Row Carignan Syrah Cinsault 2022 (12 Bottles) Barossa Valley

AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

The name Truffle Row comes from the row of hazelnut trees planted alongside this vineyard, whose roots are infused with the spores of the famous and rare black truffle.

We haven’t found any truffles yet, but it doesn’t stop us enjoying this wine. The wine is a blend of harmonious red varieties that are typically grown and vinified together in other similar climatic regions throughout the Old and New Worlds.

“A blend of 45% carignan, 34% syrah and 21% cinsault with 60% whole bunches in the mix, matured in old French barriques for 12 months. Bright and perfumed and packed with ripe fruit and gingery spice. Blueberry, satsuma plum and boysenberry with hints of jasmine, salted licorice, gingerbread, sarsaparilla, earth and mountain and amaro herbs. Exuberant and slinky, it comes across as quite fragrant in the mouth as well, with something akin to Turkish delight whipping around on the fringes of the palate. Fine and powdery in tannin with bright, sapid acidity, and it sports a supple tide of plush fruit and spice on the finish. 93 Points” – Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion
