About this product


Tasting Notes
A rich, full-bodied wine with aromas of violets and blackberries with clean flinty notes. The palate has plenty of black and red fruits balanced with supple tannin and spicy oak character.
Season
Small berries and bunches led to low yields of high-quality fruit with an exceptional concentration of colour and flavour. Overall, the season was a warm year, with a few extreme heat days in January and February requiring expert management of irrigation and canopy cover, though cool nights encouraged vine health and balanced development of flavour, structure and tannin.
Winemaking
This wine has fruit from two premium vineyards on Heathcote’s famous Cambrian soil – one in the north of the region which was picked in the last few days of February, and one in the south which is cooler and was picked a few weeks later. The fruit wine was matured for 11 months in French oak barriques, a mix of new and seasoned.
