From three vineyards, we make our Heathcote Shiraz every year. With each vineyard being in three distinctly different micro-climates within the Heathcote GI, each hand-picked parcel of fruit adds a unique dimension to this wine.
Region: Heathcote
Sub-region: A blend of fruit from three different sub-regions: Colbinabbin (Mount Burrumboot Estate), Toolleen (Dead Horse Hill) and Kimbolton (Coliban Glen Vineyard).
Harvest: late February and mid March 2020.
Aged: French and American barriques, some seasoned (2-, 3- and 4-year-old) and some new (25%).
Bottled: May 2022.
Closure: Natural cork.
Palate: Deep raspberry in hue, it's bright fruit on first sip; juicy blueberries, wild cherries and a hint of saltiness. A soft, velvet mid-palate, lovely length with delicate tannin and a soft, lasting finish.
