Harkham 2017 Aziza's Shiraz (Hunter Valley)
Editors' Choice
Richie Harkam is one of the only natural wine producers in the Hunter Valley, a notoriously difficult place to farm without chemicals. This wine evokes freshly squeezed blueberries and other just-picked berry fruit alongside licorice and earthy spices. The mouthfeel is juicy and crunchy from soaring, pristine acidity. A tight fist of skinsy, spicy tannins holds it all together. There's no escaping Shiraz's power here, but there's playfulness and purity, too, that's utterly charming. Christina Pickard
