Heartland Shiraz 750mL

Heartland Shiraz is a pure expression of Australia's most iconic variety. Perfect match for Greek bbq meats. 'HEADING into the higher ripeness and alcohol levels at 14.8 per cent, but balance is the key and there's a bit of oak to soak in the dark fruits within. It still has all of its regionally typical rich plumcake, grainy tannins, and a faint hint of eucalyptus. It's a quite traditional shiraz that should cellar well.' - Daily Telegraph, Sydney, 30 Apr 2013, by Tony Love. 'A great partner to the cabernet. Bouquet is loaded with spices and traces of dark chocolate and peppery leaf. The palate is rich and sumptuous but with admirable restraint and control, allowing the savoury plummy fruit to present itself beautifully. The tannins are fine and the oak fine-grained. Excellent wine for now or short-term cellaring.' - 92/100. - West Australian, Perth, 20 Jun 2013, by Ray Jordan.
