Halliday
"A truly unique wine, made using old-vine Hunter Valley shiraz from the Homestead vineyard in Pokolbin, co-fermented with 10% marsanne grapes. Contemporary in style, the wine is vibrant and perfumed, showcasing the quality of the old-vine fruit through its intense forest berry aromas, mid-palate texture and mesmerising depth. A long line of acidity runs through the palate, with snappy cranberry and wild raspberry flavours on the close." Toni Paterson MW

‘Terracotta’ wines get their name from the soils on which the fruit is grown. These red clay soils are renowned for their low fertility thus reducing the yield of the vine and increasing fruit concentration.
2023 from the start was impressive. Lower than average crops was combined with a faultless ripening period. The dry harvest window produced exceptional quality Shiraz and Marsanne fruit. Fantastic flavour and balance are hallmarks of the vintage.
Shiraz was harvested from the highest Shiraz block on the ‘Homestead’ Estate vineyard in Pokolbin, and Marsanne from the ‘Lochleven’ vineyard.
10% Marsanne was added to the Shiraz and co-fermented in 2 tonne open vats.
A red and black fruit spectrum aromatic nose, lifted by the Marsanne. Raspberries, mulberries blackberries dominate the palate with a touch of blackcurrant pastilles. The bright fruit is supported by subtle spicy oak. Terrific balance and length of flavour.
Medium to long term.
Most red meat based cuisine.
