Critic reviews

James Halliday – Taking the pressings (the last litres of juice from the press when the skins are almost dry) from Blocks B, C and F, comprising 33/33/34% respectively, have created a concentrated, very savoury wine, and one I pondered over for quite some time. Tom Carson's inspiration was no surprise: Wendouree, '89 specifically. Stunning dark crimson; it's largely defined by resolute tannins, which are a little drying on the finish but buoyed by wafts of menthol, wood spices and tobacco. It needs more time and definitely to be savoured with food. - JANE FAULKNER - HALLIDAY'S WINE COMPANION

About this Wine

The 2016 vintage was exceptional in Heathcote, with all the makings of our finest yet. One of our coldest winters in recent memory was followed by a warm and dry spring, with perfect, even set and growth. The warm, dry and consistent conditions prevailed throughout summer, resulting in highly concentrated small berries.The vintage shows truly classic ‘Heathcote’ character - exceptional concentration and detail, tightly packed savoury tannins, and quintessential gunflint, graphite-like character so unique to the our vineyard, coupled with a spectrum of vibrant fruit flavours. The incredible structure and detail of these wines ensures their longevity.
