95 POINT RATED HEATHCOTE SHIRAZ SOURCED FROM SINGLE VINEYARD GOLD MEDAL WINE SHOWCASE MAGAZINE
Inky black with dusty red hue. Liquorice, black cherries and pepper and
spice. Some vanilla oak and earth characters are also evident. The
palate has rich liquorice and black cherry flavours with notes of
blackberry, vanillin oak and pepper and spice following up. The
fine-grained tannins provide wonderful length and a framework for the
long finish.
Pioneer Andrew O'Keefe migrated to Victoria's goldfields from Ireland,
finding his fortune in unique iron railways and bridges. In 1888
O'Keefe's own locomotive pulled the very first passenger train from
Sandhurst to Heathcote. The Heathcote line originally ran passenger
series as well as transporting local supplies to the gold mines in
Bendigo. Our wine is a tribute to the many early pioneers who built the
historic railways and helped to unite Australia's many township and
people.
Sourced from a single vineyard just outside the township
of Heathcote bordering the O’Keefe Rail Trail. The vineyards aspect is
northeast facing with a gentle sloping contour in the world renowned
ancient Cambrian soils. Fruit was machine picked and de-stemmed prior to
crushing and fermentation with 20% whole punch. We used a combination
of new and old American and French oak to develop flavour in line with
fruit concentration.
