Happs Three Hills Shiraz 2022

Accolades

96 Points – Ray Jordan
Rich, deeply intense fruit with floral spice, dark chocolate and plum, plus excellent tannin and oak management and plenty happening on the palate.

96 Points – Wine Orbit
Immensely complex with blackberry, charcuterie, toasty oak and warm spice, concentrated yet refined, with fine grainy tannins and a long satisfying finish.

Tasting Notes

• Aromatics: Blueberry, plum, rhubarb and truffle, with charcuterie, white pepper and savoury spice.
• Palate: Medium to full bodied with elegance and intensity. Raspberry, beetroot, cherry and dark fruits, plus earth, leather, dark chocolate and rosemary. Finishes with silky soft tannin and great persistence.
• Winemaker detail (extra layer): Raspberry, mulberry and plum skin with rose petal and violets, plus iodine, beetroot, ironstone, pink peppercorn and quinine. Mineral, graphite-like tannins and fine acidity.

Viticulture and Winemaking

Region: Karridale, Margaret River, Western Australia (Three Hills Vineyard)
Variety: 100% Shiraz

Vineyard:

• Planted 1994, dry grown, loam over laterite, 30 hectares
• Strong maritime influence, around 10 km from both the Southern and Indian Oceans
• 100% handpicked

Vintage conditions: Mild, wet spring then hotter than average summer temperatures, especially around Christmas, producing ripe, fleshy reds.

Maturation: 14 months in 50% new French oak puncheons.

Analysis:

• Alcohol: 14.0%
• pH: 3.75
• Acidity: 5.9
• Residual sugar: < 0.1 g/L

Serving and Cellaring

• Serve: 16 to 18°C
• Decant: 60-120 minutes helps the truffle, spice and savoury notes really open up.
• Cellar: Drinking well now, and the structure and oak handling suggest it will reward medium to longer term cellaring.

Food Pairing

• Chargrilled lamb cutlets with rosemary
• Pepper steak or slow-cooked beef
• Mushroom dishes, especially with thyme or truffle
• BBQ ribs
• Aged cheddar or manchego

I've been ordering from Partners in Wine for three years now - from the UK for my sister living in Perth. Each time they've been bang on with my order including  on time delivery. Kirk has also helped me select my wines from an extensive list.  A very pleasant and friendly company to deal with. I would highly recommend them.
