Thomas Kiss Shiraz 2018

Andrew Thomas' flagship Shiraz from an outstanding Hunter Valley vintage.  Kiss Shiraz is a cheeky name for a serious wine. It is an individual vineyard Hunter Valley Shiraz, grown on the tough clay/loam soils of the Pokolbin Estate vineyard (planted 1969). These naturally low cropping vines consistently produce fruit with exceptional depth and concentration. This is the benchmark Shiraz for Thomas Wines, expressing the very best qualities of each vintage. The first vintage of Kiss Shiraz was in 2001, and since that time this label has received countless wine show awards and accolades.

Matured in French Oak hogsheads, this is a deep and evocative wine. Full of body and rich with black fruit and spice, the finish is long with satiny tannins. After bottling, the wine rested in the cellar for ten months prior to being released 2nd May, 2020.
