The 2022 Hewitson “Ned & Henry’s” Shiraz, crafted by Jeremy Hewitson in the Barossa Valley, South Australia, is a joyous, fruit-forward expression of Shiraz with backbone and finesse. Aromas of ripe blackberry, mulberry, violet and cracked pepper lead into a plush, medium-bodied palate brimming with juicy dark fruit, spice and a touch of tar. Integrated tannins and soft acidity lend balance, while a subtle mineral seam and mouthwatering finish offer freshness and length. Generous yet focused, it reflects the region’s warmth with clarity. While formal scores are pending, this wine is widely celebrated as a polished, approachable Barossa red.
