First Creek Hunter Valley Shiraz 2019

Special Price $24.00 Regular Price $30.00
A great vintage and a stunning wine which we believe is equal or better than the 2017 which was awarded 97 points by James Halliday. Amazing depth of blue and black fruits, coffee, dark chocolate, spice and richness. Wonderful now or will cellar for 10 years very comfortably.

Most notable for being the first major wine region in Australia, the Hunter Valley had vines planted as early as 1789. The authorities at the time encouraged wine production, thinking that folks overindulging wine was preferable to filling up on strong spirits. Responsible Drinking back in the 1700s!
