Ingredients: Made from hand-picked, estate-grown Shiraz grapes from old vines on a single vineyard. The fruit benefits from the Tamar Valley’s cool, frost-free climate, with vines growing in loam over clay soils that impart structure and depth.
Critic Scores:
While specific scores for the 2019 vintage may vary, the wine’s reputation is affirmed by its balance, complexity, and aging potential. For detailed reviews, check reputable wine publications or the winery’s official channels.
Producer Background:
Waterton Hall is celebrated for its commitment to producing elegant, terroir-expressive wines from Tasmania’s Tamar Valley. The estate’s focus on sustainable practices and meticulous craftsmanship results in wines that reflect the unique characteristics of their vineyard site. The 20-year-old vines produce concentrated fruit with refined tannin structure, ideal for aging.
Vintage Notes:
The 2019 vintage experienced a season marked by ideal ripening conditions—cool nights and warm days—allowing the grapes to develop balanced sugar, acidity, and flavour. The result is a wine with deep fruit intensity and an elegant, layered complexity that will develop further with cellaring.
Vineyard Notes:
Situated on a single vineyard with an easterly aspect, the vines thrive in loam over clay soils, which foster slow ripening and flavour development. The cool, frost-free climate of the Tamar Valley contributes to the wine’s finesse, structure, and aromatic complexity.
Winemaking Notes:
Grapes are hand-picked and fermented in open vats, with hand plunging to extract colour and tannins gently. The wine is matured in French oak barrels for 12 months, allowing for subtle oak integration that enhances complexity without overpowering the fruit and savoury notes. The approach prioritizes minimal intervention to preserve the wine’s finesse and aging potential.
Flavour Profile:
- Appearance: Deep plum in colour, exhibiting a rich and intense hue.
- Nose: Aromas of dark fruits such as blackberries and plum, layered with savoury spice, hints of earth, and subtle oak-derived notes.
- Palate: Full-bodied with elegant structure, featuring concentrated black fruit flavours, refined tannins, and a lingering, complex finish. The wine’s balance of fruit and savoury elements makes it suitable for aging, promising further development with time.
Food Pairings:
Waterton Hall Shiraz 2019 pairs beautifully with:
- Roasted Meats: Lamb, beef, or game with herbs and spice.
- Rich Stews: Braised beef or lamb shanks.
- Charcuterie & Hard Cheeses: Aged cheese platters or cured meats.
Indulge in a glass of Waterton Hall Shiraz 2019 to enjoy its layered complexity, elegance, and potential for further cellaring—perfect for special occasions or reflective moments.
