Hewitson Baby Bush Mourvèdre 2021 (12 Bottles) Barossa Valley

The 2021 Hewitson “Baby Bush” Mourvèdre, crafted by Jeremy Hewitson in the Barossa Valley, South Australia, is a focused and savory expression of this Rhône variety. Aromas of blueberry, olive tapenade, dried herbs and warm spice lead into a medium-bodied palate brimming with black fruit, earth, licorice and tobacco leaf. Supple yet structured fine-grained tannins and balanced acidity carry a subtle mineral undercurrent through a long, savory finish. With minimal intervention and wild fermentation, this Mourvèdre offers a quiet intensity and food-friendly gravitas. While formal scores aren’t yet released, it’s gaining praise for its elegance and regional finesse.
