Obelisk Wines Ded Reckoning Shiraz 2013
About the wine
Anna and Derek's trademark red.
- This brooding red is a cool climate varietal that sings the praises of the Ancient Limestone coast on which it was made.
- Created from low yielding parcels of fruit from ancient coastal seabeds. This wine is a stunner, with dark blue fruits and subtle spice. It's medium to full bodied with chalky tannins to finish.
- This sensational Shiraz rated extremely highly last vintage at 91% and will age gracefully over the years, if you can keep your hands off for it that long…

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Derek Hooper
Hooper & Co’s wines echo the pristine land they come from, the local community and pushing wine boundaries (Derek’s speciality!)
Derek’s son, Harry, splits his time between winemaking and brewing. Daughter Grace is already elbow deep in grape juice, and Daisy is a marketing specialist in the industry.
From father Kym’s first vineyard back in 1992, through Derek, to his fresh-faced, eager charges, they are one of the new families of wine. And they’re out to stir up your palate with fantastic drops with sustainability at their core.
