Hungerford Hill Epic Shiraz 2023 from the Hunter Valley is a seriously opulent red – a flagship Shiraz pouring deep colour, concentration and polish from the famed Sweetwater vineyard, with all the richness you’d expect at this level. It’s built for lovers of powerful yet finely crafted Australian Shiraz.

In the glass, Epic Shiraz 2023 is laden with raspberry sorbet and cherry compote, plush black fruits and dark plum, wrapped in high‑quality French oak. Expect layers of dark chocolate, spice and a touch of earth, all carried by velvety tannins and impressive weight that gives an almost luxurious, mouth‑coating feel.

Food‑wise, reach for rich dishes – slow‑braised beef cheeks, chargrilled rib‑eye, lamb shanks or a smoky BBQ spread. The wine’s depth and tannin structure will also shine alongside aged cheddar, pecorino, or a truffle and mushroom pie, where that dense fruit and savoury spice really come alive.
