"The rare, ideal location of Heathcote Estate, planted on the deep red Cambrian soil, imparts amazing depth and character to our shiraz. The 2007 wine is a blend of BVRC12, BVRC30, SA1654, ESA3021, PT23, SA1127 clones. These clones are planted across four major blocks each having their own unique sections combining aspect and soil.
The wine is rich and bold yet balanced with finely grained tannins and a powerful finish. The dark, dense red colour reflects the ripe powerful nose of blackberry and raspberry with nuances of cedar, chocolate and spice. Flavours are a subtle combination of dark berry fruits integrated with complex oak and mixed spices. The wine features soft supple tannins, seamless integration of oak and acid with a long rich lingering finish. A powerful wine packed with flavour and complexity, embodying the affinity between the Heathcote region and the shiraz grape."
