Description

With it's alluring scents of red fruit and herbs, this gentle, peppery Shiraz is one that glides silky-smooth in the mouth.

Plenty of whole-bunch suppleness - 35% of it to be exact - and supporting old and new (30%) French oak - this is truly a classy Canberran.

Only medium-bodied and fit into a beautiful, sculpted body! Some savoury tannin completes the package.

"If I had to pick one region for its shiraz, Canberra District has my heart. The aromatics, the quality fruit, the plush palate, everything just comes together to produce a fine-boned red. Heywood is no exception. Dark fruit, spicy, cedary oak just a bit player, the shapely detailed tannins, the fine acidity and the overall feel of this wine are all remarkable."
- Jane Faulkner (Halliday Wine Companion)

    Good stuff!

    Delicious and great value. Rich complex and interesting. Will be amazing in 5 years or so. Stock up

Aromas of red fruits, sage and lifted white pepper, the palate is of medium weight showing brambly dark berry characters a dusting of classy oak and finishing with fine savoury tannins.
