Chris Ringland Hoffman Shiraz 2013

Australia / South Australia / Barossa Valley

Chris Ringland is one of Australia's best-known winemakers. Other winemakers affectionately call him "King of Shiraz". In 1994 he bought a small vineyard in the Barossa, 550 meters above sea level, with some vines over 100 years old. In this Mediterranean climate, he vinifies an unmistakable Shiraz that inevitably impresses lovers of large, powerful wines. As a result of the very limited production and the high quality of the wine, he and his wines immediately became legendary. Robert M. Parker Jr. has often rated Ringland's Shiraz with 100 points and counts Ringland among the largest Syrah producers in the world. Chris Ringland's three great wines are called "Dimchurch", "Hoffmann Vineyard" and "Three Rivers". “.
