About Hirsch Hill Shiraz 750mL
Hirsch Hill Shiraz opens with an inviting bouquet of ripe blackberry and dark plum, layered with hints of cracked black pepper and a whisper of smoked meat that speaks to its cool-climate character. On the palate, the wine is generous and full-bodied, delivering waves of dark cherry, blueberry compote, and mocha, underpinned by well-integrated oak and a subtle earthiness. The tannins are firm yet velvety, providing excellent structure without aggression. The finish is long and satisfying, with lingering notes of dark chocolate and spice.
