De Iuliis
The Lovedale Road region of the Hunter Valley is renowned for producing world class wines. In 1987 we chose our property because of its potential to continue the tradition of producing outstanding wines. After three years of soil preparation the first vines were planted in 1990. We now are starting to see the rewards of such careful planing and preparation. With some impressive wins recently at the prestigious Hunter Valley Wine Shows the wines are well on track to becoming some of the best in the area.

Tasting Notes
Appearance: Deep crimson with purple hues.
Aromas: Intense spice and pepper on the nose combine with rich berry aromas.
Palate: Rich fruit flavours of black cherries combine with firm tannins to provide a full-bodied style with great length on the palate. A well-balanced wine, consistent with the classic Hunter Valley style of Shiraz.
Cellaring
Careful cellaring will see this wine develop beautifully over the next 7 – 10 years.
