“Lovely wine. Elegant wine. The Heathcote Shiraz stays in oak a lot longer. The 2012 saw oak for about eighteen to twenty months to give focus to tannins and maintaining the elegance of the fruit. ”

Tasting Notes

Greenstone’s 2012 Heathcote Shiraz is deep and complex with a dark crimson colour. It is a medium-bodied wine and opens with aromas of ripe dark plum and cherry to complement subtle liquorice, leather and a light meatiness.

As promised, the dark plum follows through on the palate to integrate with the liquorice, cedar, pepper and a graphite-like edge. A smooth finish thanks to fine, chocolatey, velvety tannins.

“Excellent colour; a precisely crafted shiraz, the attention to detail patently obvious; spice, pepper, polished leather, black cherry, raspberry and blackberry all competing for space on the elegant, medium-bodied palate. This is one cool dude shiraz, finishing with mouthwateringly fine tannins. ”
