Chain of Ponds Graves Gate Shiraz 2020 (6 bottles)

A fragrant nose of satsuma plum, raspberries, roasted beetroot and blackberries are integrated with subtle cracked pepper and fresh cedar notes. The palate has balanced acidity, lively fruit, velvety tannins and a persistent savoury finish.

94pts; “A lot of winemaking detail has gone into this $20 wonder, including 15 months' maturation in French oak (25% new). It hits well above its pricepoint – outstanding value here – to deliver a joyous Hills shiraz experience in deep spicy aromas and fruits with black cherry, plum, violet and an earthy nuance. A fine line of supple tannins brings length and balance.” - 2023 Halliday Wine Companion, Jeni Port
