Tyrrell's "Rufus Stone" Heathcote Shiraz 2022, 750ml

Planted in 1994, our Heathcote vineyard is situated on a strip of ancient Cambrian soil on the east facing slopes of Mount Camel in Central Victoria, north of the Heathcote township.

The grapes were fermented in a combination of open and closed top fermenters. Maturation took place in predominantly French oak barriques (20% new) for 12 months before bottling.

Tasting Note:

The Heathcote presents aromas of dark berries, plum, and eucalyptus, with hints of white pepper and sweet tobacco. The palate is medium to full-bodied, showcasing rich fruit intensity, balanced with notes of blackberry chutney and blueberry compote, and finishing with a peppery, long finish.
