This outstanding aged Shiraz from Hobbs is made using the Appassimento style and matured for approximately 24 months in French oak.
Appassimento wines are produced through a process of partially rack-drying grapes to increase concentration of both natural grape flavours and sugars. The result is a wine of atypical power, concentration and alcohol content with an ability to benefit from long periods of maturation.
Named in honour of a very fond memory from early in Greg and Allison’s relationship – a skiing instructor who had a hard time pronouncing ‘Gregory’.
