Description

Method

By choosing gentle processing methods such as soft pressing we maximise fruit character and moderate tannin extraction. Harvest timing & winery methods are chosen to create a medium bodied and wine crafted to highlight the bright fruit.
 

Results

A delightful expression of the Heathcote Shiraz flavour profile – mixed red and black fruits, cherry, plum & white pepper. The juicy palate incorporates toasty oak spice. A fruit forward wine with a finish of balanced, approachable tannins.

 

Conclusion

The Heathcote terroir is sought for the robust structure, inherent flavors and spiciness it imparts in Shiraz. It is, for this reason, we can keep our winemaking intervention simple, letting the red soil do the talking in our fruity driven, silky-smooth Shiraz.
