2018 Hilltops Shiraz No.2
It’s always a pleasure working with Shiraz from two of the Hilltop’s most distinguished vineyards (Freeman and Moppity), side by side, in the winery. Winemaking practices are kept as close as practical, with the intention of highlighting the unique personalities of these vineyards– machine harvested fruit is chilled to tank for a short cold soak period, followed by a warm to hot fermentation, which usually runs for 5 to 7 days. We then press to French oak puncheons, 25% new. Maturation is over 14 months, with the wines racked once prior to blending and bottling.
The 2018 Hilltops Shiraz No.2 reflects the lighter, granite peppered soils of the Moppity Vineyard. Ripening here appears to occur a little slower and, at similar baumés, the wines are slightly more floral, and lighter in shape.Bottle$00.00Half Case ( 6 Bottles )$00.002018 Hilltops Shiraz No.2 Awards & Reviews:
