The grapes for this wine are sourced from the Baby Bush vineyard, which is known for its low-yielding, old-vine Mourvèdre.

The resulting wine is a rich and complex expression of the Mourvèdre grape, with notes of dark fruit, spice, and earthy undertones. This wine is a great example of the quality and craftsmanship that Hewitson is known for, and is a must-try for any wine enthusiast looking for a unique and flavorful experience.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Mourvèdre from Hewitson is a bold and earthy wine.Aromas of blackberry, white pepper, and dried herbs are layered in with hints of smoke and dark chocolate. On the palate, the tannins are robust yet supple and the flavors of dark fruit and spice are balanced by a lively acidity. The finish is long and lingering, with a pleasant smokiness. Enjoy this wine now or cellar it for a few years to allow the tannins to further soften and the flavors to develop further complexity.

Lush and evolved wine with a deep, gentle feel that touches the palate, accompanied by a medley of juicy and sweet fruit flavors, offering cherry, raspberry, and blackberry, as well as a nuanced touch of cocoa and licorice, refined by a warm, spicy herbiness that adds profoundness and nuance to the ultimately experience, with a medium body, gentle tannins, and a crisp, lively liveliness that cuts through the richness, resulting in a silky and fulfilling finish.

Intense and fruity nose is accompanied by a smooth, silky structure on the palate, with a delightful cohesion of black fruit, raspberry, and nutty notes. The freshness is well-tended, making this a thoroughly satisfying wine.
