Despite a drier than normal spring, a generous 80mm of rain in January 2017 saw our dry grown fruit from this vintage produce a moderate crop and a delightfully fresh but rich, black fruited style of wine accompanied by typical delicious Heathcote spiciness.
A classic Heathcote Shiraz with deep, inky colour and amazing rich dark berry fruits on the nose. The palate is rich and opulent – showing pepper and cinnamon spice, black cherry, blackberry with vanillin oak chiming in as well. The tannins are velvet-like, and the finish is sumptuous and persistent.
