With clonal and soil diversity between the vineyards, this Shiraz captures the essence of what makes Heathcote a truly world class Shiraz producing wine region.
Dark purple vibrant red in colour, the 2023 Heathcote Mail Coach Shiraz offers intensely berry driven aromas intermingled with plum pudding spice and freshly ground coffee. The palate is concentrated and full of primary fruit flavours that are held together by silky tannins and syrupy fruit persistence. A complex and layered wine with wide appeal, this will be enjoyed by the many fans of Mail Coach Shiraz.
"Whole-berry fermented in batches, maturation in French and American oak with less than 2% viognier. A cool vintage brings out the spice and gentle florals, and it becomes one mighty-attractive feature of this wine. There’s a fineness of shiraz expression in play, all red and blue fruits, plum, earth and spice, medium bodied and elegantly delivered. Fine, bright tannins bring an energy and freshness. 93 Points. $36. Drink: 2024 - 2032. 14.5% alc. Screwcap"- Jeni Port, winecompanion.com.au.
