96 / 100"The Steven Vineyard has always been known for the quality of its grapes, some would-be buyers thwarted by the knowledge that demand exceeds supply. The bouquet is very expressive, but it is the bottomless depth of the pools of varietal/regional flavours that provide the magic of this elegant, faultlessly balanced, medium-bodied shiraz."

Tasting Notes
Originating from Italy the De Iuliis family have made the Hunter region their home since 1960. After a long successful career in the Hunter mining industry, Joss and Anna De Iuliis were inspired to follow their family passion for wine and chose a property in the Lovedale Road region of the Lower Hunter Valley, converting a grazing property into a 20ha vineyard with the first vines planted in 1990. For the first decade they provided fruit for some of the Hunter Valley’s biggest names.
