The ultimate representation of Hunter Burgundy is the Rare Game Shiraz. Built on the sacred terroir of the Tinkler’s ‘48 Block’ (once part of the historic Lindeman’s Ben Ean vineyard), the Rare Game seeks to defy the laws of chemistry (and logic) by offering a level of flavour intensity, texture, and length that belies its medium bodied frame and modest alcohol content – and that’s just the beginning. In the Rare Game, we expect more and more as it ages gracefully in the bottle. The rich layers of complexity that emerge from the seemingly humble foundation, over the 10 plus years we ask of it, goes to the very heart of what get’s me excited about this globally unique expression of Shiraz. Long live Hunter Burgundy!
