Allocation – 2021 Wilton Hill

Presented in a wooden box of 6 bottles. Only 50 boxes available. Limit of 4 boxes per member. Welcome to the allocation release of our 2021 ‘Wilton Hill’ Shiraz. Wilton Hill has been a 15-year project to this point. An opportunity for me to show one unique and very special site and talk about its relevance within the varied Barossa landscape. The vineyard owes its name to its hilltop position above ‘Wilton’, an old town in Flaxman Valley. Originally farmed by 1852 settlers, the Pohlner family, it's now tended by the Mattschoss family, 6th generation Barossan farmers. The inspiration behind the “Wilton Hill” ambigram on our label is owed to this site's unique orientation atop the Barossa Ranges from where both the Barossa and Eden Valleys can be seen. With 84 acres under vine, 'Wilton Hill' boasts 8 different varieties and 11 different clones of Shiraz vines. A small 1929 Shiraz block provides the fruit for ‘Wilton Hill’ and represents less than 0.5% of our total wine production. Decant and savour. Or cellar up to 20+ years. 2017 – 97Pts Huon Hooke, The Real Review 2018 – 95Pts Andrew Caillard MW, The Vintage Journal 2019 – 97Pts Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion 2020 – 96Pts James Suckling, jamessuckling.com Note: the following year's allocation release will be the 2022 vintage.  TASTING NOTES Remember, our pre-release allocations (and pricing) are only offered to members.
