Hills View Shiraz - Simon Hackett

The barrel-aged Hills View Shiraz from the South Australia wine-growing region presents itself in the glass in a dense purple red. The bouquet of this red wine from South Australia delights with notes of sour cherry, plum, blackcurrant and blueberry. If we follow the aromatics further, vanilla, black pepper and blackcurrant join in.

The Simon Hackett Hills View Shiraz presents itself to the wine lover as wonderfully dry. This red wine never appears coarse or austere, but rather round and smooth. On the palate, the texture of this powerful red wine is wonderfully velvety. Thanks to its pronounced acidity, the Hills View Shiraz reveals itself on the palate as wonderfully fresh and lively. The finish of this youthful red wine from the South Australia region, more precisely from the Adelaide Super Zone, ultimately captivates with a beautiful aftertaste.

Vinification of the Hills View Shiraz by Simon Hackett

The powerful Hills View Shiraz from Australia is a varietal wine, vinified from the Shiraz grape variety. After hand-picking, the grapes are immediately brought to the press house. There they are sorted and gently crushed. This is followed by fermentation in large oak vats at controlled temperatures. After fermentation is complete, the powerful Hills View Shiraz is aged for several months in oak barrels.
