Mike Bennie 93 points!"First up, fragrant wild raspberry and satsuma plum fruit. They're joined by sweet cedar wood, cloves, nutmeg, earth and sweaty road tar aromas. Hallmark Heathcote but without the wooziness; here there is lightness and lift. The palate works its mojo with medium weight, dustiness, earth and sweet spice. Acidity is bright, elevating the wine's red berry flavours, then some stem influence gives a leafy complexity and drags the wine long. All about the freshness, imminently drinkable"
Mike Bennie, Wine front
"Pyrette Heathcote Shiraz is sourced from an impeccably sited and managed vineyard near Colbinabbin on the Mount Camel Range. The specific parcel of vines this fruit comes from is at the highest block on deep red, rocky Cambrian soils on a cooler easterly facing slope. The picking date is carefully assessed in order to capture fruit vibrancy and freshness whilst capturing the typical mouthfilling richness and length of the region.
The wine is made in 1000 litre open vats, fermented with ambient yeast and matured in French barrels, 20% new. The yield, harvest date and winemaking is deliberately aimed at producing a wine of regional authenticity in a style highlighting fragrance, vitality, finesse and harmony."
