Tasting Notes

De Iuliis Lovedale Road Shiraz Touriga 2023

"De Iuliis were the first to plant touriga in the Hunter Valley, as it thrives in hot, dry conditions. It introduces a gorgeous floral and savoury tone to shiraz, adding a rustic base note that counterbalances the plentiful sweet fruit. Glacé cherries, pink rose petals, boiled sweets and dark, plummy fruit. The palate is juicy and plush, with creamy oak, lemony acidity and a faint, earthy minerality lying deep within."  95 Points, Special Value,  Toni Paterson, Halliday Wine Companion

Mike De Iuliis, and the namesake winery his parents founded, has been considered one of the “new guard” of Hunter Valley excellence. With exceptional vineyard holdings and a modern winery, Mike has made De Iuliis one of the highest regarded wineries in the region. The wines are classic yet contemporary: age-worthy, elegant, refined and pure.
