About This Wine
A single parcel fermented on skins for 36 days in two small open fermenters with no de-stemming or additions. Smells of complex musk and red fruit fragrance, some spice and layered black fruits, hints of minerals and wild berries. The palate is all aboutfinesse and elegance with deceptive concentration, length and power – tannins are layered in soft sheeted formation.

Heathcote Wines
The Heathcote wine region in central Victoria is well known for its excellent red wines, most notably Shiraz. Heathcote reds are defined by their inky depth of colour, and deep, dark complex fruit flavours. This is combined with well balanced tannins and acid that help to give the wines great cellaring potential.
All this is made possible by the terroir. The Heathcote region sits at between 160m and 380m elevation with a temperate climate of even rainfall. The soils are rich in calcium red soils made up of “greenstone”. These soils are prized for their water retention capabilities allowing them to drain freely but still hold enough water throughout the growing season. The grapes that result are small and concentred which in turn make rich concentrated wines.
