The Stonehaven winery was built in 1998 by Hardy’s, with a focus to express what the Limestone Coast can offer as a region. Since then the brand has relaunched back into the market with wth a refreshed look with a range of wines for every occasion.

This Shiraz is a velvety-rich and smooth wine. Lingering scents of dark cherry and olive, paired with bright red berries and pepper spice on the palate complete this wine for a lasting impression. 

Cold maceration allowed fermentation to complete in barrel with Rhône yeast strain; 18 months' maturation then individual barrel selection. A very good expression of both place and variety, ditto texture and structure. Fresh cherry/berry fruit and fine-spun tannins; skilled oak handling. Ticks all the boxes.
