HEWITSON MOURVEDRE 'BABY BUSH' 2017

Dean Hewitson established his namesake winery in 1998 in Australia s renowned Barossa Valley, bringing together his extensive international winemaking experience from France, Italy, Oregon, and his advanced education from both Roseworthy College and UC-Davis. The winery s portfolio centers on single-vineyard expressions, most notably from some of the world s oldest living vines, including the historic Old Garden Mourvèdre (planted 1853) and Miss Harry Grenache (planted 1880). Hewitson s winemaking philosophy marries Old-World traditions with New-World precision, producing wines that showcase the unique terroir of Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, and Adelaide Hills. Operating under Sustainable Winegrowing Australia certification, the winery demonstrates a commitment to environmental stewardship through solar energy, water recycling, and biodiversity initiatives, while crafting award-winning wines across various varietals, from Rhône-style blends to Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc. Medium red with a bright purple hue. Aromas of dark, brambly, blueberry aromas are matched with dried herbs, earth and undergrowth. On the palate, sarsaparilla and classic blue fruits deliver a rich, velvety mouth feel, backed by very soft and fully ripe tannins.
