Hewitson - Barossa Valley
Hewitson’s Estate lies along the banks of the Para River, in the heart of the Barossa Valley on the historic Seppeltsfield Road.
Historically, this strip has produced some of Barossa’s (and Australia’s) finest red wines.
We'll have Dean Hewitson or the 'mad hatter' as he's commonly known in the store to taste through a selection of Hewitson wines on Thursday March 27 from 4:30pm-7pm
including the Old Garden Mouvedre which is sourced from the oldest Mouvedre vineyard in the world dating back to 1853!
Hewitson Dorrien Bank Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
Classic left bank cabernet sauvignon. Left bank of the Para River that is, in the famed subregion of Dorrien. Deep magenta/crimson with fruit aromas of plush blackberry, black cherry and blackcurrant. Nary a herbaceous note to be found. It's all layered spice, licorice, créme de cassis, kirsch, tobacco pouch and softly spoken cedar tones. Weighty and wonderfully ripe and silken, tannins superfine and melting back into the black fruits and finishing long, fruit pure with a slightly savoury lean. 95 points, drink 2023-2040, David Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion.
