Tasting Notes
St Vernay vineyard is located on the Hungerford Hill Estate on the northern bank of Middle Creek. Alluvial clay loam soil is mixed with river gravels, consistently providing fruit with a richer expression of Hunter Valley Shiraz. The 2.7 hectare vineyard is named after the Kirby family home, and was planted in 2001.
Dark red fruits of plum and cherry lead to a palate with violet, spice and undulating graphite tannins. A spicy medium-bodied wine with great potential for cellaring. A wine to savour.
