Tasting Notes:

Deep red with a cherry red hue. Intense all spice and cedar aromas with notes of chocolate and cherries..The palate is fleshy, focused and fragrant. Plum, spice and some white pepper notes are the dominant flavours of the wine, the texture and structure are engaging showing wonderful oak use and obvious well timed picking at optimum ripeness. The tannins are firm yet the wine is round and has a soft mouth feel.

Technical:

Sourced from a single vineyard the northern end of the Mt Camel range. The region is famous famous for one thing and that is creating Shiraz of a quality and character not seen anywhere else in Australia. North of the Great Dividing Range our vineyard benefits from the Mt Camel Range which influences the climate and our soil. The soil is Cambrian, which is the major factor in creating our wines characters due to the red and deep soil with fantastic water holding capacity. Hand selected fruit was picked and de-stemmed prior to crushing and fermentation on skins. We kept each parcel separate from the four separate picks over a 3 weeks period. We used older oak for a 12 month period to allow the true wine and fruit to prevail over the oak influence. Will drink well now although will age well and develop more complexity over the next 8+ years potentially.

The Alfred Heathcote Shiraz 2017 Dozen is rated 3.8 out of 5 by 11.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Oli of Oz from I think this is the white knight in disguise. A very smooth, fruity, full-bodied wine despite of its slightly lighter colour, which should not fool you. This became one of my favourites and I've purchased a few cases already and will add to my stock every time there is a special on them.

Rated 5 out of 5 by deano from Alfred Heathcote Shiraz 2017 Dozen - full bodied Alfred Heathcote Shiraz 2017 Dozen - rich and full bodied. Don't judge the label as the red tastes way more expensive. Fabulous for the price.

Rated 4 out of 5 by TeeW from Young, lively, cherry red colour and nose I bought this wine as a low price wine to drink with regular evening meals. It is young and lively, with light red colour and fragrance of cherry. I am not disappoiinted; and consider it value for money.

Rated 3 out of 5 by PeterJ from Good value This wine is good value for money and an easy drinking quality quaffer but it is not up to the typical Heathcote region standard. There are many better Heathcote examples, perhaps at a more expensive price point.

Rated 3 out of 5 by harmor43 from I have always liked Heathcote Shiraz. The Alfred was a little different as it wasn't as intense & lacked a little in style. I love the black pepper style from Heathcote & the lingering length on the pallet, this wine didn't quite have that for me but it was still quite drinkable.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Bazza2005 from Disappointing wine- Maybe I got a bad bottle, but it was not drinkable. Returned the case and got a credit.
