Hancock and Hancock Shiraz Grenache Speyside

Hancock and Hancock Shiraz Grenache SpeysideRestrained and supple, with depths of ripe dark plum, pepper and spice notes from Shiraz, lifted by the rose petal aromas and red cherry flavours of Grenache. Lovely light, bright finish. The vineyard is situated in the McLaren Vale, which is the truly Hancock "Home" vineyard. The vines are old, some of them are more than 80 year old, and they are planted on South East facing slopes, protected from strong winds and facing the gentle moving sun. There

pure concentrated minerality with rich palate weight and great texture

verbena and mint

balanced with good acidity and a citrus fresh finish

We source wine from a number of growers with exceptional terroir and so have the flexibility to select only the very best fruit each vintage (rejecting parcels which do not meet our high standards)

The palate is electric

combined with a simple syrup

To enable the true flavours and characters of the Cabernet Franc (and touch of Cabernet Sauvignon) to shine through

with replanting continuing throughout the first half of the 20th century

Great with a BBQ in the summer

and many seafood recipes
