HUNTER’S OLD VINES
The 2019 Margan BC4 Shiraz is the second release of the Broke Fordwich producer’s unique old vine shiraz project, started by Andrew Margan in 2011 as the result of a search for more diversity in his shiraz vineyards. “I asked some mates who owned heritage vineyards in Pokolbin for some buds to graft over over a 30-hectare block of 50-year-old shiraz vines” said Margan. He ended up grafting six different clones on the root-stocks, which are now producing some brilliant results. The 2019 BC4 is a bright, fruit-forward shiraz, available now.
