This is a profound and intensely personal wine, a tribute to a single barrel that embodies the soul of Hewitson. 'Barrel 1853' is a powerful Shiraz Mourvèdre blend, celebrating the ancient, dry-grown vines of the Barossa Valley. The generous 2020 vintage has yielded a wine of immense depth and concentration, with a hedonistic bouquet of blackberry, licorice, and smoked meat.
