Chalkers Crossing
Cc2 Hilltops Shiraz
Hilltops, Southern New South Wales, New South Wales, Australia
Contrary to my last note, this IS my last bottle of 2 dozen. Mid Ruby in colour. Dark ripe cherries with a little pepper on both nose and palate. Can see why this wine has won 13 Trophies on the Australian Show Circuit including 5 at Royal Sydney. Ridiculous value at $22 or less. So easy to drink. Made by French winemaker Celine Rousseau in the cool climate Hilltops District near Young NSW. Wish I had more.

Apr 28th, 2020Bright Ruby red with purplish tinge. Fresh primary fruit nose of cherry bursting with vitality on nose and palate. One of the most decorated wines on the Australian Show Circuit in recent memory - winning 5 Trophies at the prestigious Royal Sydney Wine Show and 4 Trophies at other Shows around Australia - a total of 9 Trophies. Made by French winemaker, Celine Rousseau in the cool climate Hilltops region near Young NSW. Medium bodied, light tannins, low acidity - drink up to 5 years of age. Very moreish. Sensational value for money at around $20 and below. I will be on the lookout for subsequent vintages from this producer.

Veeerry friendly Shiraz at this price. Cherry up front, red apple tobacco, good structure and a frenchman's even hand taming those tannins.
