2021 Estate Shiraz

2021 was the first year of a La Niña cycle - cold, wet and long. Heavy rainfall in spring following a full soil recovery program through 2020 as the drought broke left the vines in fantastic condition for a slow and steady ripening season. The reds from 2021 are elegant and complex, while the whites are aromatic and lifted.

While Huntington Cabernet leads the way in the Trophy and Medal tally, it is Huntington Shiraz that often wins the hearts of our customers. As smooth and as fruity as you’d expect from the variety; the fine tannins are well managed to provide structure and length as well as the ability to age. Mudgee produces outstanding Shiraz in both the warm and cool years.
