Hutton Vale Grenache Mataro

Check-up on Australia with Tim Wildman, MW (Adelaide/Barossa) : This tiny wine maker, the main business is natural farming, has its vineyards neighboring Henschke’s Mont Edelstone and Hill of Grace. They actively try to prevent themselves from being rated and only sell to a mailing list. Medium-dark garnet. Nose of blueberry, sweet spices. No roasted notes at all here, very fresh. Medium bodied with racy acidity and pronounced tannins. This needs some time in the cellar but very good material.
