$288.00 GST Included

AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

The Naked Run Hill 5 is a traditional Australian blend of two premium red varieties Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon sourced from the Clare Valley. The Shiraz portion is sourced from Hill 5 at Sevenhill and the Cabernet from a small vineyard at Watervale. Small parcels are fermented in open fermenters with a portion of this wine undertaking natural ferment. The wine is fermented for 11 days on skins then pressed to new and older French oak barriques. After 20 months of maturation, the wine is bottled.

The Hill 5 Shiraz Cabernet is a vibrant deep cherry red colour. It shows lifted dark fruit, spice, chocolate, and jube aromas on the nose. The palate is rich and full bodied, with great weight and length. Roasted meat and chocolate characters dominate, balanced well with charry, spicy oak and pleasant soft dusty tannins on the finish. This is an elegant wine with nice balance and structure.

About Naked Run Wines

Born and raised in the Barossa Valley, the wine industry has always been a big part of Steve’s life. From an early age he ‘worked’ in his family’s small vineyard at Williamstown, which ultimately lead to a career in the wine industry. In 2003, after finishing an Oenology degree and a Viticultural diploma at the University of Adelaide he joined the team at Pikes Wines in Clare where he is now the Senior Winemaker. He is passionate about making wine and particularly loves working with Riesling, a variety well suited to the Clare Valley. His approach to winemaking is careful management in the vineyard and minimal winemaking intervention, allowing him to capture and showcase specific vineyard sites in every wine he makes. In late 2005 Steve and his wife Laura purchased a small vineyard in Sevenhill which grows Riesling, Shiraz and Cabernet fruit. They live on the property with their three children Mason, Buddy and Evie.
