Ashley Horner Family Reserve Hunter Shiraz Viognier 2014
About the wine
Shiraz with a hint of Viognier - direct from the Hunter.
- This Top Shelf wine is from the top tier of Ashley Horner's range... his aim with the family reserve range is to show that single vineyard wines can produce unique regional flavours and be consistent in quality.
- This wine has a gorgeous spicy clove and toasty oak character with a velvety tannin.
- It's organic, from a single vineyard with 10% co-fermented with Viognier from an excellent vintage. AND the last vintage was rated above 90%. Do we need to say more...

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Ashley Horner
- Born and bred in the Upper Hunter Valley, Ash worked in local vineyards while helping to establish his Family Vineyard.
- He's one of the most passionate people we've ever met! When asked what he loved most about his job, his answer was "Everything! I love the action during vintage and the progression of grapes becoming a bottle to enjoy. I love the diversity and the abstract thinking you can put into creating a wine product. I also love the diversity of the people that work in the industry and how winemaking makes me feel complete in my life".
- What's the difference between Ash and the rest? His grapes are from organic vineyards and are made using fully certified organic practices!
