\n4 Stars \u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605\nFounded in 1998 – Dean Hewitson has for two decades been crafting quality bespoke, character filled wines. This 2016 Rh\u00f4ne style blend showcasing 5 traditional grape varietals is ever so approachable and engaging. And will reward those who enjoy ripe fruit-forward flavours, and an elegantly crafted wine with a cheeky personality. The wines of Hewitson are recognised for their genuine honest flavours, balance and effortless complexity.
\nThis 2016 \u2018Miss Harry\u2019 G.S.M. blend is a real treat for the senses. This wine also give a hint to the unique terroir and age of their special bush vines. These bush vines vary in age – ranging from younger selections of century old vineyards through to 140+ year old vines.
\nFor those new to this wine – \u2018Miss Harry\u2019 is the nickname of Dean\u2019s daughter Harriet, who was also born during the first vintage, and as her two older brothers have their named Shiraz, so Harriet rightly deserved her own blend.
\nWorking with these traditional Rh\u00f4ne varietals – comes with it the art of blending and making something greater than the individual parts is the focus – as this wine achieves. This 2016 vintage is a masterful tapestry of red grape character – each having their rightful and deserved place, like instruments in an orchestra.
\nThe bush vines are dry grown, with these fragile vines being hand pruned and harvested. As each site was ready for hand harvesting – the parcels were brought only a short distance to the winery for traditional vinification. A small part of the blend was whole bunch fermented, along with a cold soak on skins for 20 days to extract a bright spectrum of characters – the wine was then matured for 12 months in seasoned French oak barriques. \n \u2022 As you pour this wine into your glass, you will be greeted by a garnet colour with a subtle purple hue. On the nose confident aromas inviting your senses to all that will follow – which includes ripe cherries, red plums, dried spice and mixed herbs.
\nThe palate is vibrant and engaging with ripe berry fruits, dried herbs, spice and a beguiling complexity derived from its 12 months maturation in oak. Dean has deftly used the right amount of winemaking to showcase all the delicate layers from the centenarian and ancestor vines. This wine has bright fruits, integrated ultra-fine tannins and perfectly balanced fruit acidity which lifts the lingering savoury, smooth dry finish.\n This 2016 Hewitson \u2018Miss Harry\u2019 Rh\u00f4ne Blend has 14% Alc.\/vol. Decant for 20-25 minutes and serve in an appropriately shaped red wine glass at 16\u00b0- 17\u00b0C.\n An approachable, complex Rh\u00f4ne style blend from the Barossa Valley.<\/em>\n
