Critic reviews

The Wine Front – “It’s meaty and fragrant. Wow, the taste, the mouthfeel is impressive. It’s full in flavour but subtle and it builds it up towards the end. Raspberries, blood, rosemary, sage, dark chocolate with caramel bits and salt flakes. The structure is complete with the front perfume, mid-palate weight and a long finale, it has velvety tannins, firm acidity and plush, fleshy body. So very well made, pure fruit and poise.” - Kasia Sobiesiak, The Wine Front

James Halliday – "A single-vineyard shiraz made from the fruit of 53-year-old vines; hand-picked and cold soaked for 48 hours, spending a further 9 days on skins, matured for 16 months in French hogsheads (25% new). Release May ’23 after further maturation in bottle. Lovely hue and depth, the bouquet full of plum and blackberry verging on outright perfume, the palate taking no prisoners with its power and purity, the aftertaste long lasting. Sheer class, and not afraid to flaunt its wares." - James Halliday, Halliday Wine Companion 2024

Description

First released in 2001, Thomas Wines flagship Shiraz is a single vineyard wine sourced from the mature Pokolbin Estate Vineyard across the road from Brokenwood’s famed Graveyard Vineyard. The vines date back to 1969 and are planted on Hunter’s classic clay/loam soils, where the low-yielding vines produce fruit with exceptional depth and concentration.

This year, the fruit was hand-picked on the 22nd of February, cold-soaked for 48 hours and then fermented on skins for nine days. The wine was matured for 16 months in premium French oak hogsheads. Tasting with the winemaker, Thomas echoed something that Barney Flanders from Garagiste told us recently, “your flagship wine doesn’t have to be your biggest wine”. While the Elenay Shiraz channels juicy power and hedonistic enjoyment, the Kiss Shiraz is a more reserved expression, sitting firmly in the medium-weight spectrum whilst holding just as much complexity and aging potential.

It’s tightly coiled—embodying that “spring” metaphor Thommo uses to describe his Braemore and Kiss wines—with dark fruits, sweet spices, red floral lift and some smoky complexity. The palate is youthfully structured, layered with velvety mid-palate fruit and finished with great length and complexity. A cracking release that again proves Hunter can mix it with the best.
