K1 by Geoff Hardy Shiraz Adelaide Hills
2020 brought fires that devastated many vineyards on the east coast of the country and even as close as the northern Adelaide Hills. Thankfully, Geoff Hardy’s beloved K1 vineyards were spared. The vintage that saw warm and dry conditions through to harvest produced a small but mighty crop. This 2020 K1 Shiraz is an expressive wine with a pronounced bouquet of sweet back fruits and floral perfume. The palate is chock-a-block with flavours that echo the nose. 2022-2026 – LW
K1 by Geoff Hardy Shiraz Adelaide Hills
Dry and mild conditions bookended a warm summer in 2019, allowing the smaller than average crop ample time to develop complexity prior to harvest. In this vintage, blackberry, plum and black currant aromas dress both the nose and palate. Eighteen months elevation in 30% new French oak adds complexity with aromas of vanilla and a note of brown sugar. 2022-2025 – LW
K1 by Geoff Hardy Shiraz Adelaide Hills
2018 started out cool, but warm summer temperatures soon arrived. Except for a cooler March, warm weather continued through harvest, allowing for optimal flavour and colour development. At the time of tasting, the 2018 was at the head of the class – simultaneously driven and poised. A hint of cured meat complements the plum and violet of the bouquet, reflecting the start of this wine’s evolution. The palate remains youthful - layered with elegant dark fruit. 2022-2028 – LW
