Meerea Park 'The Aunts' Shiraz

Hunter Valley

Red Wine

Shiraz

750mL

This wine is named after three pioneer women of the Hunter Valley, who established the initial homestead on ‘Meerea’ in the 1830’s. The three women were referred to by the family as the ‘Aunts’. The establishment of the homestead coincided with the planting of the first Shiraz in the Hunter Valley.

This single vineyard wine is made from fruit off the low yielding, mature Glenguin vineyard in Broke.

With a return to more normal Hunter Valley vintage conditions, 2021 has produced exceptional white grapes and very good reds. Shiraz overall will be medium-bodied and classic Hunter in style. Great acid balance will give the wines longevity in the cellar.

A bright crimson in colour. The nose exhibits red berry fruit aromas, plums and toasty French oak nuances. The palate is medium-bodied, has supple tannins and a lovely balance.

Medium to long term.
