Hutton Vale Farm Shiraz 2019

The pedigree and provenance of the shiraz vineyard at Hutton Vale Farm is impressive. The ‘old’ block was planted in the 1960s with cuttings taken from the nearby Mt Edelstone vineyard. 55 years down the track, the old dry grown vines continue to survive with a little more nurturing in their middle age, using mulching and mid row management. Eight acres planted to the East in the 1990s from cuttings taken from the ‘old’ block are the “grandchildren” of the original plantings at Mt Edelstone.
