What's so special about Marked Tree Hill? Take the ride through Gundaroo and up over the hill, down to Collector, bypass the Federal Highway and Lake George, which slides away to the right. You'll see a flight of white cockatoos that regularly passes, and the place is splendidly ornamented, lots of air and freedom, the grey fence posts, the cockatoos, the towering sky. Marked Tree Hill comprises hand worked parcels of Shiraz from vineyards in and around Murrumbateman. The mix of granite and shale soils produce fruit which is both perfumed and elegantly structured as well as savoury, textured and rich. Individual parcels are fermented, gently pressed and matured in new and seasoned French oak prior to assemblage.
TASTING NOTES
Lively crimson colour. A fragrant bouquet of dark cherry and blackberry, pepper and aniseed, with a rich, textured mouthfeel. Although weighted for early drinking, Marked Tree has a sturdy spine of tannin that will make for graceful development. To accompany duck, lamb or stilton.
