Thomas Kiss Shiraz
Lower Hunter Valley
Price Range at Release: $50-$99
Vintage: 2018
Alc %: 14.3
$ Rel: 85
Lifted by a sweet floral perfume, spicy, heady aromas of black, blue and red berries knit with tight-grained cedary oak. Medium to fullish in weight but packed with intense, vibrant fruit without a hint of jamminess, this pristine, elegant shiraz extends with exceptional length down a marginally ferrous, drying palate, culminating in a vivacious, mouthwatering finish. Exceptional.

Winery
Thomas
Andrew Thomas has fashioned a stable of distinctive Hunter wines from its traditional varieties of shiraz and semillon. What makes them unique is their obvious association with benchmarks from the past, their highly polished, spotless nature and balance, plus something a little less tangible and ethereal that makes them completely delicious. The whites are pure, fresh and mineral, while the reds deliver pristine, intense aromas and flavours with remarkable elegance and savoury charm. Over the years Thomas has steadily added to its range, finding sites able to deliver traditional regional style as well as points of difference to existing wines.
