Heathcote, VIC

750ml bottle

The winemaker Michael takes on Heathcote Shiraz, as his family has done for over a decade. The vineyard was selected for its prime position and the deft hands that tend it. It's situated high in the Mount Camel Range, grown on the famous rocky Cambrian soils the region is known for.

Picked at precisely the point where freshness meets flavour, this is a lovely example of Shiraz from this part of the world. Only a small percentage of the fruit is matured in new French oak, this wine is about showcasing a pure, aromatic style of Syrah that doesn't shy away from the typical regional richness. A powerful wine whilst showing still showing restraint, this is a fine version Pyrenees Shiraz made by an astute mind.
