Bilgavia Estate Shiraz

Leona and Phil Gunter’s shiraz comes from their vineyard in the Hunter’s Broke–Fordwich sub-region – a valley over from Pokolbin in the valley’s heartland. The Gunter’s bought the vineyard their first shiraz, made from just one tonne of grapes. Although the alcohol is a modest 12.5% per cent, this is a full-bodied style, featuring strong, earthy, spicy varietal flavours and pronounced cherry and spicy flavours from maturation in oak barrels. Rustic tannins, combined with the earthy flavours, give this wine real appeal.
