Hobbs of Barossa Ranges Tin Lids Aria Secca Shiraz 2024

Tasting Note

Ripe blackberry, raspberry, and blueberry notes lead the nose, complemented by pepper, spice, mineral hints, and a subtle touch of oak. The palate is soft and generous, featuring creamy vanilla alongside smooth blackberry, raspberry, and dark plum flavours. Gentle, velvety tannins provide structure, finishing with a lovely savoury edge.

This is an Amarone/Appassimento style wine. The grapes are hand-picked and laid onto racks to semi-dry. The length of drying time varies each year and is influenced by the ripeness of the grape, the ambient heat and humidity and the flavour on tasting. The drying process intensifies the flavours whilst maintaining the structure and natural acids of the grape. Wild ferment, open vats, hand plunged daily.
