Heathcote Shiraz displays an inviting complex nose of liquorice, raspberries, cedar, dark chocolate and white pepper falling into a medium bodied savoury palate with sweet red fruits meandering through. The chalky tannins provide length and cellar potential of 5-8 years.
Winemaker's Bio
In 2014, Christian enrolled at Charles Sturt University and relocated from Brisbane to Victoria to embark on his career in the wine industry. As fate would have it, he began his practical experience at Mitchelton in 2015, remaining there until 2017 before exploring other regions. During this period, he completed his Bachelor of Wine Science while working full-time, accruing nine years of experience across various regions in Victoria. His career included working with Llew Knight at Granite Hills, where he specialized in Riesling and cool climate reds, and gaining invaluable training in viticultural practices and winemaking methodologies with the Quealy and McCall families on the Mornington Peninsula.
