Hewitson fruit is sourced from historic, dry-grown vineyards in the Barossa Valley and also from single site vineyards in Eden Valley, McLaren Vale and the Adelaide Hills.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nFrederick Wildman \\\u0026quot;Dean Hewitson founded his eponymous winery in 1998. He is a highly respected Australian winemaker ...Hewitson has worked at wineries in Australia, France, Italy and Oregon. Hewitson then moved to the U.S. where he earned a Masters from UC-Davis. On his return home, Dean brought a wealth of knowledge, practical experience and a driving passion to produce wines not only from Barossa Valley but also from the McLaren Vale and the Adelaide Hills regions.\\n\\nHewitson fundamentally believes great wines are the expression of the soils they are grown in and the season in which they are grown. With his longstanding focus on terroir—specific terroir plots in fact—many of Hewitson’s wines are single vineyard. He sources grapes from not only his own vineyards but also from long-standing grower contracts including a few sourced from some of the oldest living, still productive vines on plots that date back to the mid-19th century and are pre-phylloxera. His ‘Old Garden’ Mourvèdre is a single-vineyard wine, whose vines were planted in 1853 in Barossa Valley and are reputed to be the oldest Mourvèdre vines in the world. Hewitson’s ‘Miss Harry’ is sourced from a Grenache vineyard planted in 1880, also thought to be the oldest Grenache in existence.\\n\\nDue to Hewitson’s education and experience in Australia, California and France, Hewitson wines combine Old-World traditions with New-World fruit purity. And while he clearly excels with Rhône Valley grape varieties, Hewitson also produces award-winning Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc. A practitioner in solar energy, water recycling and encouraging natural biodiversity, Hewitson produces wines in an environmentally sustainable fashion.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nJames Halliday \\\u0026quot;Dean Hewitson was a winemaker at Petaluma [one of Australia's leading wineries] for 10 years, during which time he managed to do three vintages in France and one in Oregon as well as undertaking his Masters at the University of California, Davis. It is hardly surprising that the wines are immaculately made from a technical viewpoint. Dean sources 30-year-old Riesling from the Eden Valley and 70-year-old shiraz from McLaren Vale; he also makes a Barossa Valley Mourvedre from vines planted in 1853 at Rowland Flat, and Barossa Valley Shiraz and Grenache from 60-year-old vines at Tanunda.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nThe Barossa Valley is an extremely important wine-producing region within the Barossa zone of South Australia, particularly associated with powerful red wines from the red wine grape variety Shiraz. A prestigious and internationally renowned region, it is not only home to some of the oldest vineyards and wineries in Australia but produces some of its most recognizable and sought-after brands. A striking feature of the Barossa Valley's wine landscape is the presence of very old vines, proudly showcased on many wine labels and during vineyard tours.\\n\\nShiraz, also known as Syrah is a popular red wine. Though the spiritual homeland of this red grape is France, Syrah has been planted throughout the world to great success. It expresses itself differently depending on the climate, soil and regional style.\\n\\nSyrah is typically bold and full-bodied, with aromatic notes of smoke, black fruit and pepper spice. Stylistically, it can be round and fruity, or dense and tannic. And in warmer New World regions like Australia, Syrah is most often be called Shiraz. \\n\\nWinemakers who work in cooler-climate growing regions, both in the Old World and New World, tend to call their wines Syrah. The most famous examples come from the northern Rhône Valley of France, notably Hermitage and Côte-Rôtie. In the New World, in regions like Sonoma Coast, California; Yarra Valley, Australia; and parts of Chile, the wines are called Syrah because they emulate the leaner, acid-driven, savory styles of the Old World French classics.\\n\\nShiraz tends to come from warmer growing climates, namely the South Australian regions of Barossa, McLaren Vale and Adelaide Hills. Stylistically, these wines are lush, fruit-forward examples that embody the warmer, sunnier climate. Shiraz is so important to Australian viticulture that it is the most planted grape variety in the majority of Australian vineyards and has become virtually synonymous with the country's wine regions, and in particular the Barossa Valley.\u0026quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":15299,\"3\":{\"1\":4,\"2\":\"\\\"$\\\"#,##0.00\"},\"4\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":16711680},\"9\":0,\"10\":0,\"11\":4,\"12\":0,\"14\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":0},\"15\":\"arial,sans,sans-serif\",\"16\":8}' data-sheets-textstyleruns='{\"1\":0,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":157}{\"1\":159,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":177}{\"1\":289,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":304}{\"1\":620,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":634}{\"1\":980,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":1006}{\"1\":1717,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":1742}{\"1\":2086,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":2103}{\"1\":3792,\"2\":{\"2\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":16776960}}}{\"1\":3793,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":3808}{\"1\":4401,\"2\":{\"2\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":16776960}}}{\"1\":4402}'\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJames Halliday, Halliday Wine Companion Awards\u003c\/strong\u003e \"It is a graceful wine with a silky texture, red and purple fruits foremost; the tannins superfine, the finish lingering, the aftertaste fresh.

Shiraz is so important to Australian viticulture that it is the most planted grape variety in the majority of Australian vineyards and has become virtually synonymous with the country's wine regions, and in particular the Barossa Valley.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hewitson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40926347395223,"sku":"HEW-MVMSH18-7506","price":159.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/8685\/files\/hewitson-mother-vine-monopole-shiraz-2018-barossa-valley-south-australia-pop-up-wine-1-33548193366248.jpg?v=1764691201"},{"product_id":"rocca-delle-macie-nobile-montepulciano-2019-tuscany-italy","title":"Rocca delle Macie 1787 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano 2019 - Tuscany, Italy","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBronze - Vironelli\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBronze - Natalie Mclean \u003c\/strong\u003e(2011 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBronze - Heather Wall \u003c\/strong\u003e(2011 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e91\/100 - Natalie Mclean \u003c\/strong\u003e(2008 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e90\/100 - Natalie Mclean \u003c\/strong\u003e(2006 vintage)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrganic\u003c\/strong\u003e - currently undergoing certification \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNatalie Mclean\u003c\/strong\u003e ''Very pleasant and full-bodied with generous dark fleshy fruit, dark spices and smoke.

After Piedmont and the Veneto, Tuscany produces the third-highest volume of DOC\/DOCG wines. More than 80% of the regions' production is in red wine, with the Sangiovese grape being Tuscany's' most prominent grape. Trebbiano is the leading white variety of the region.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe history of viticulture in Tuscany dates back to the Etruscans in the 8th century BC. From the fall of the Roman Empire and throughout the Middle Ages, monasteries were the main purveyors of wines in the region. As the aristocratic and merchant classes emerged, they inherited the share-cropping system of agriculture known as mezzadria. Many Tuscan landowners would turn their half of the grape harvest into wine that would be sold to merchants in Florence. Following the end of the Napoleonic Wars, Tuscany returned to the rule of the Habsburgs. Chianti, Chianti Classico, Brunello di Montalcino, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and Super Tuscan are Tuscany’s best known wines.\"The history of viticulture in Tuscany dates back to the Etruscans in the 8th century BC.

The wine is made primarily from the Sangiovese grape varietal (known locally as Prugnolo gentile) (minimum 70%), blended with Canaiolo Nero (10%–20%) and small amounts of other local varieties such as Mammolo. The wine is aged for 2 years (at least 1 year in oak barrels); three years if it is a riserva. The wine should not be confused with Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, a red wine made from the Montepulciano grape in the Abruzzo region of east-central Italy.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSangiovese (or Nielluccio in Corsica), a dark-berried vine, is the most widely planted grape variety in Italy. Virtually synonymous with the red wines of Tuscany, and all the romanticism that goes with the territory, Sangiovese is the core constituent in some of the great names in Italian wine. Italy's love affair with Sangiovese – and indeed the world's – is generations old, though recent grapevine research suggests the variety is not as ancient as once thought.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rocca delle Macie SPA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44267306516712,"sku":"ROCDM-NOBMON19-7506","price":66.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/8685\/files\/RoccadelleMacie1787VinoNobilediMontepulciano-Tuscany_Italy.jpg?v=1775456971"}],"url":"https:\/\/popupwine.com.sg\/collections\/red-wine-fast-delivery.oembed","provider":"Pop Up Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
