Introducing the Wild Duck Creek Yellow Hammer Hill SMC 2022. Immerse yourself in the bold and silky flavours of this brooding garnet red wine. With intoxicating aromas of dark boysenberry and a palate full of blue fruits, including blueberry, plums, and tart red cherry. Partially matured in concrete vats, this wine highlights the pristine fruit flavours. Enjoy now or cellar for up to 15 years.
"Mostly shiraz with 12% malbec and 6% cabernet sauvignon. A blend of several sites, with lower yields, which seems a theme for WDC. The wine is in French and American oak of various sizes and sees around a third matured in concrete vats.
All the slurpy, inky purple here. Sloshes around the joyous freshness of blackberry, currants, cherry and mulberry, all of this dusted with woody and sweet spices, a touch of coffee grounds, some flinty mineral notes and tobacco. Earthy elements in this too, a swish of eucalyptus and mint. Pepper too. It’s wickedly good drinking, superbly balanced and an outstanding entrée to the wines of Wild Duck Creek."
