We are thrilled that our Baby Bush Mourvèdre was selected in the Young Gun of Wine panellists’ top-six selections - amongst some of the country’s most exciting Mataro/Mourvèdre/Monastrell.
All wines were tasted blind, and each panellist named their top six wines.
2021 Hewitson ‘Baby Bush’ Mourvèdre, Barossa Valley
Selected in his top six from the blind tasting by Froude. He noted it was “spicy, complex and lifted, with dark cherry, pomegranate, forest herbs and sweet spices of cinnamon and nutmeg. The palate is more savoury than fruity, showing meaty notes and dried herbs, but retaining a core of cherry compote character. The tannins are slightly grainy, and the finish drying – however, with time to soften in bottle, this wine should come together nicely. The savoury notes and drying tannins would lend themselves to pairing with strongly flavoured red-meat dishes.”
