2004 Gregor Shiraz, Hobbs Your Store

2004 Gregor Shiraz, Hobbs

Barossa Valley, Australia

This outstanding aged Shiraz from Hobbs is made using the Appassimento style and matured for approximately 24 months in French oak.

Appassimento wines are produced through a process of partially rack-drying grapes to increase concentration of both natural grape flavours and sugars.  The result is a wine of atypical power, concentration and alcohol content with an ability to benefit from long periods of maturation.

Named in honour of a very fond memory from early in Greg and Allison’s relationship – a skiing instructor who had a hard time pronouncing ‘Gregory’.

Greg and Allison, with their family Sean, Bridget and Jessica, moved to the historic 15-acre vineyard in 1995, leaving behind a city life for a new life among the vines. Greg and Allison’s next-door neighbour and outstanding winemaker, Chris Ringland, made their first few vintages. The Hobbs and Chris have enjoyed many a long and animated discussions in the vineyard and over meals paired with a glass of wine or two, as they blended thoughts and ideas that have formed the individual style of their wines.
Since then, Chris has directed them on the right path by guiding them in making their own wine, while joining them as a consultant and friend.
Hobbs of Barossa is similarly fortunate to work with Pete Schell (Spinifex Wines) who has been a winemaker with them for the past 10 years. He now focuses on the Gregor, the Tin Lids range and the Fortified Grenache. Pete has a sensational palate and nose as well as superb winemaking skills. He believes in the quality and influence of fruit and has an inordinate integrity and honesty that is revealed in his winemaking style.
With a strong belief in their own fruit, the team’s combined skills and their desire to make only wines of exceptional quality, Hobbs are becoming one of Australia’s premium labels.
