Heirloom Vineyards was conceived in vintage 2000, when a young winemaking student caught the eye of a silly old wine judge. A love story ensued inspired by two vows: To preserve the best of tradition, the old world of wine and our unique old vineyards and to champion the best clones of each variety planted in the most appropriate sites embracing the principals of organic and biodynamic farming.
This Heirloom Vineyards Shiraz was produced from the best Barossa Shiraz Vineyard whose clones and viticulture embody the very best in cutting edge as well as old school viticulture and winemaking. Hand tended vines, sorted bunch-by-bunch, naturally open fermented, basket pressed and stored in French oak barriques from bespoke coopers.
Expect notes of black plums, spices of nutmeg, mace and bay leaf, alongside savoury soy, olives and hints of rose petals. Spicy and textural on the palate with hidden depths of concentrated blackberry and reduced plum with a sliver of dark chocolate. The rich fruit is checked by the bright acidity and alcohol, with supple tannins unfolding with each sip.
This is a big game wine -think venison! Or try with sausage and horseradish, or anything with plenty of pepper, or a hint of chill.
