Hollick The Bard Shiraz 2021 x 12

Description

The fruit was picked at optimum ripeness and carefully handled to retain the flavours achieved in the vineyard. Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon typically yields flavours and aromas of dark berries, cherries, plums and other dark fruits. This wine is no exception and shows the Hollick style of producing wines. It also makes this wine an excellent accompaniment to food.

SHIRAZ 2021 
The BARD range celebrates the work of Australia’s best-known lyric 
poet John Shaw Neilson who was raised in the cottage on the Hollick 
Neilson’s Block vineyard. Revered by his peers in the world of 
literature, Neilson was born in Penola in 1872, and it is thought that 
much of the imagery in his poetry was conjured up during his 
childhood experiences in the bush and wetlands around Coonawarra. 
The fruit was picked at optimum ripeness and carefully handled to 
retain the flavours achieved in the vineyard. The combination of the 
luscious fruit flavours from Wrattonbully shiraz combined with the 
more restrained berry flavours of Coonawarra fruit along with the 
spiciness typical of the variety, has produced an elegant wine so in 
keeping with the Hollick Bard style. It makes this wine an excellent 
accompaniment to food.
