The appeal of Eaglehawk is almost self explanatory, it’s charm lies in its easy drinkability and easy to stomach price. Aromas of blackcurrants and dark cherries. The palate is medium bodied with upfront red berries supported by vanillin oak, following through to a soft tannin finish. A mild winter led to a warm, dry growing season with early bud burst. It was relatively cool leading into an early vintage. From mid January it remained dry and became relatively hot, accelerating ripening. Healthy leaf canopies protected the fruit, while rain and cooler weather in mid-February slowed down harvesting, with 2014 ultimately proving to be another good vintage.
