Tasting notes
Appearance:
deep ruby colour.
Nose:
redcurrant, leather, red crushed berries with a hint of toffee, incense and curry.
Palate:
this is a powerful and generous wine expressing itself with delicacy thanks to a very delicate tannic structure. Intense flavors of ripe fruits and spices combined to a fine acidity – a hyphen between richness and strength reflecting perfectly the terroir of Heathcote.
Grape variety/varieties:
Shiraz.
Harvest:
The crop is manually harvested at maturity, avoiding over-maturation.
Soil:
Red soil from the Cambrian Period.
Vinification:
The grapes are 100% destemmed. Fermentation takes place in concrete tanks. Vat times are long (from 4 to 6 weeks) and a gentle extraction is performed by pumping-over. It aims at obtaining fine and delicate tannins.
Ageing:
Ageing 100% in French oak barrels with low proportion of new oaks (10-15%) for 14 months.
Alcohol content:
13.5
