2009 vintage Miss Harry is sourced from traditionally grown vineyards dating back to the late 1800s in the Barossa Valley. A blend of Grenache (50%), Shiraz (40%), Mourvèdre (5%) with the balance equal portions of Cinsault and Carignan. All of these varieties are historically grown in the southern Rhone Valley of France near the Mediterranean, and are normally blended together to make the local wine. These varieties have a natural affinity for the Barossa Valley. The old deep-rooted Grenache, Shiraz and Mourvèdre perfectly accompany the later-ripening and lower-alcohol Cinsault and Carignan that add a small yet important part to the blend. The vineyards were picked at optimum maturity, fermented separately on their skins before finishing fermentation and malolactic fermentation in old French barriques then matured in these same barrels for about twelve months without racking. These are our traditional methods that intensify flavour and complexity. The 2009 Miss Harry continues the success of this beautifully structured, fruit-concentrated red wine that delivers wholeheartedly in a very approachable style. Bright red with a purple hue, the aromas are of ripe strawberry, intense red forest berries and rhubarb with layers of creamy complexity offered by the extended barrel maturation on lees. The palate is wonderfully full, showing ripe strawberries and red plums, and has a concentrated core of fruit essence with a racy acidity that gives the wine incredible vivacity. The finish is exceptionally long. 2009 Miss Harry is quite an exceptional wine and is absolutely world-class.
*What the critics think*
2008 – “Bright, light colour; a lusciously juicy wine, with cherry and raspberry flavours tempered by a slightly savoury finish; good length and balance. Grenache/Shiraz/Mourvedre/Cinsault.” Rating: 92 points James Halliday – The Australian Wine Companion - 2011
2008 - (A blend of Grenache and Shiraz, with bits of Mourvedre and Cinsault). Vivid red. Strongly aromatic nose displays scents of fresh red and dark berries and Asian spices, plus a gentle smoky quality. Pinot-like in freshness, with tangy raspberry and cherry flavors and a solid mineral underpinning. Repeats the lively red fruit notes on the finish, which is brisk, focused and admirably persistent.Score: 90 points Josh Raynolds - Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar – Sept 2009
