2022 Hunter-Gatherer Heathcote Shiraz
Based in the Macedon ranges, winemaker, Brian Martin also sources exceptional parcels of fruit from top growers in nearby Heathcote. This Shiraz comes from the Chinamen's Bend vineyard in Tooborac with aging taking place in a mix of new and seasoned French oak for a period of 18 months.
An opulently fruited yet muscular Heathcote Shiraz that delivers great value.
Totally opaque black dark red colour with a dark red hue. Ripe black cherry and liquorice aromas rise through the olfactory senses followed by flashes of blueberry, vanillin cedar and peppered earth notes. Full in body the palate is awash with succulent black cherry, liquorice and blackberry fruit with spicy vanillin cedar, blueberry and peppered earth elements in the background. Boasting superb intensity, depth and power, a sturdy tannin structure imparts a robust feel onto the long, fresh and deeply fruited finish.
Drink over the next 6-8 years.
Alc. 14%
