Barossa Shiraz with bite—and bang for buck 🍷🔥

The 2023 Hewitson Ned & Harry Shiraz proves that Barossa power doesn’t have to come with a premium price tag. Named after Dean Hewitson’s two sons, this is a bold, juicy red made for good food, great company, and zero pretension.

Expect dark plum, black cherry and a hit of spice, with chewy tannins and just enough structure to keep things interesting. It’s plush, fruit-forward and seriously easy to drink—classic Barossa style in a more everyday frame.

If you love a big red that won’t blow the budget, this one’s got your name on it.

What the experts say about this wine

The classic Barossa fruit profile and lines are here but with a bit more space and mid-weighted verve. Which was exactly the challenge set by a friend of Dean Hewitson and he's nailed the brief. Black and blue fruits, abundant spice, just the right amount of crunch to the fruit, chewy tannin grip and an energetic vibe. It all makes for great drinking.

Hewitson aimed for a more traditional full bodied Barossa red with this excellent Shiraz. He’s done it to point, but there is polish and poise here that elevates it into a more individual style. Loads of dark plum fruit characters on the nose with a little coffee and spice, finished with a slightly dry flaky rust-like character. Like it.
