Heathcote Shiraz, Limited Release
Ref: A117507
A deep brilliant ruby red colour, this medium-bodied wine exhibits aromas of cherry and plum fruits interwoven with subtle oak, spice and pepper. The aromas follow through to the palate which has rich fruit intensity with lingering flavours of pepper and spice, balanced oak treatment, good acidity and fine tannins. The wine drinks well now, however will gain complexity with 3-5 years cellaring from vintage.
The Heathcote vineyard is located in rolling hills which form part of the Mt Camel range on the northern edge of the Heathcote region in Central Victoria. The Mount Camel range stretches from Heathcote in the south to Rochester in the north.
The Heathcote region is forging its reputation as a premium red wine area with established vineyards increasing their plantings and new vignerons entering the region. The Heathcote vineyard is home to Brown Brothers premium red grape varieties
The dynamic, yet traditionally rooted family company of Brown Brothers, has been supplying us with premium Victorian varietals since the beginning of the 1980’s. John Brown - snr. passed away and sadly his wife Patricia died in 2004 but their sons will continue with the tradition of being Australia’s leading varietal specialist, with some 35 different premium varietal wines being regularly or experimentally produced. This exceptional range of wines comes from their own Milawa, Mystic Park, Banksdale and Whitlands vineyards and they also operate an unusual ‘Bonus Contract Scheme’ with numerous growers in the King Valley, where they pay high prices for grapes on the understanding that each grower achieves the highest level of quality possible.
