Hobbs Gregor Aria Secca Shiraz 2021 from the Barossa Ranges is a decadent, Amarone–inspired Shiraz, made from semi–dried fruit to deliver incredible concentration, richness and power while still feeling surprisingly poised in the glass. It’s a showpiece wine for serious Barossa lovers.

In the glass, Gregor Aria Secca Shiraz 2021 is deeply coloured with a heady nose of blackberry, plum and dark cherry, layered with anise, mocha, coffee bean and panforte. The palate is full–bodied and velvety, overflowing with ripe black fruits, cassis and chocolate, framed by plush, fine tannins and a finish that rolls on and on.

This is a bottle built for slow food and special occasions – think braised beef cheeks, rosemary lamb shoulder, rich game pies or hard, aged cheeses by the fire. Hobbs Gregor Aria Secca 2021 will reward decanting now or careful cellaring for years.
