Hilltops is 180 km north of Canberra at 500m elevation. Excellent back labels include a map and just the salient production details.Grown partly on decomposed granite, whole bunch fermented, and aged for 12 months in one to three year-old puncheons. Contains less than 1% Viognier. Pale crimson. Some density and thickness. In a way this is less distinctive than the 2011 Canberra Shiraz. Good effort but I feel I have tasted many cooler Australian Shirazes like this. Thick and sweet but not heavy. Sort of tarry jam.
