A very good friend challenged Dean Hewitson to construct the traditional, full bodied Barossa Shiraz, to be drunk young at lunch or at dinner, without straying from the fundamental Hewitson philosophies of French oak, fine grained tannins, balance and expression of fruit. The Hewitson loves a challenge and rose to the moment with a delicious, forward drinking old vines Barossa Shiraz, dressed in the finest French oak.
From well situated vineyards on red soils over limestone, the classic Terra rossa, providing the fruit for Ned & Henrys. The sites are traditionally grown and low cropped, they produce the requisite flavours and tannins for this style of wine. After traditional vinification Ned and Henry are pressed into quality French oak barriques for the completion of ferments and malolactic. The wine matures in these barrels for a total of fifteen months before racking. While the base wine has always been Shiraz, each year a small proportion of Mourvèdre has been added, which accentuates the palate and delivers the complexity which is Ned & Henry. Alcohol 14.2%
TASTING NOTES
Deep red with a purple hue. Distinctively Barossa nose, black and red, ripe fruits and a dried herb spice influence of Mourvèdre. Seamless class of perfectly ripe fruit and French oak is a stand out. The palate structure delivers fully, flavours of red fruits, dark cherry and dark earth characters are intense and concentrated yet soft and supple. The tannins are gentle yet persistent. Ned and Henry's is most definitely full bodied, yet has great balance and poise with it's signature drinkability factor.
