About the wine

Tasting notes

Shiraz from Heathcote, can be over blown and jammy, so Ben was conscious to pull back the reins and produce a more medium to full bodied Shiraz, with spices and dark fruits that show the characters that make Heathcote an enticing Shiraz region.

The Grape

Shiraz or Syrah

Shiraz, or Syrah, is one of the most loved, rich and powerful red wine varieties made famous for its mineral and structured expressions from the Rhône in France and the rich and decadent fruity expressions from the Barossa Valley in Australia. Full bodied, rich in antioxidants and generously fruity, Shiraz sits proudly on the table for those that like their wine big and bold. Think violets, blackberries, plum, chocolate, pepper, black olive, liquorice, rosemary, tobacco and spice...i'm thirsty already!
