This is a big boy! It's a rich, juicy, mouth-filling, full-bodied Shiraz. If you like you Shiraz big and bold yet silky and smooth, this is for you. Lovely stuff!

Intense deep red with purple edge. Plump, dark fruits, blueberry, spice and liquorice. Soft, rich, mouth coating, balanced tannin, cured meats, wild spice, authentically Heathcote.

• Sourced from vineyards at Corop, Colbinabbin, and Chinamans Bridge in Northern Heathcote. The ancient red Cambrian soils of Northern Heathcote are ideal for dark fruited, plump red Shiraz.
  
  Destemmed and fermented at 25-30ºC over 6-8 days. Pressed and matured in vats and casks for 6 months. Racked and aerated regularly to soften the wine. Vineyards carefully selected for a balance of fruit weight and ripeness.
