Quilty Shiraz Black Thimble Mudgee NSW 750ml

Quilty - Black Thimble - Shiraz

"Des Quilty - We make small batches of red wines picking only the most exceptional grapes off selected vineyards in Mudgee. Small batches also mean we can spare nothing in the winemaking process in the pursuit of quality and finesse. Handpicking, hand-plunging in open fermentation vats, as much oak maturation as required."

Des Quilty has quite an impressive history in winemaking - growing up in the Hunter Valley, and studying and working as a viticulturist for 20 years in the industry.

With over 2 decades of knowledge under his belt, it comes as no surprise that his wines are brilliant!!! Only producing 450 cases of each vintage. Known for small batches of premium, single vineyard reds - the focus is always on crafting wines that have flavour, complexity and personality and are enjoyable to drink.

This wine is from a tiny parcel of hand-picked grapes from low-yielding vines on the Southern edge of Mudgee.

Very skilfully made and very fine, this wine is more about texture and subtlety than many other Aussie Shiraz you'll try. The usual fruit flavours are there. It's a savoury wine, but silky smooth.
