Kidman Block Coonawarra 2022
$65.00
The Kidman’s are a long-standing vigneron and winemaking family in the region, and they have a beautiful vineyard in the northern end of the terra rossa cigar. When our winemaker, Andrew Hardy, stumbled across this vineyard he fell in love with the beautiful fifty year old vines and just had to craft a wine to showcase it. They are naturally low yielding (approximately 3t/Ha), producing beautifully concentrated fruit that thrives from minimal, hand-tended viticulture.
Reviews
Leaves a big impression from the very first swish of the glass and the lifted scent, aromatic, enticing, complex and rich in aniseed, black fruits, plum, earth and mint. Effortless springs to mind. This has the authority that comes with old vines and the kind of seamless beauty delivered through good winemaking. It is a pure expression of place, as pure as you will get, with fabulous depth and intensity of fruit, spice and a touch of regional mint that really lifts. A light veneer of cedar and woodsy spice comes together in harmony with fine tannins. Highlights the beauty of a grape that lives forever in the shadow of Cabernet in Coonawarra. More power to Coonawarra Shiraz!
