The Collective Review
This is the 19th release of our Langtons classified HJ Shiraz. The HJ is picked from our very best parcels of old vine Shiraz on the Taranga vineyard – it has been barrel selected and bottle aged for your optimum enjoyment. Named after our grandfather Herbert John ‘HJ’ Oliver, we know he would be very proud of his namesake wine. The HJ joins the DJ Cabernet and RW Grenache as ‘The Greats’, wines representing family members who have been instrumental in the creation of a great multi-generational family business.

Tasting Notes
Smoked pepper melding with mocha and blackberry cherry fruits, leading to a core of beautiful plummy fruits with a wet asphalt mineral note. So much power, yet so much finesse. Super fresh and supple drinking now, but the HJ will reward cellaring for those so inclined.
Winemakers Note
2020 was a challenging vintage in a challenging world. There was a significant lack of rain through winter and spring, and an early heat spike during grape set that resulted in loss of crop. Hence, 2020 was an extremely low tonnage vintage, with the added bonus of a global pandemic! Thankfully what quantity we lost was more than made up for by the superb quality, so our loss is your gain. It just means there's much less to go round...
