Heathcote Shiraz  2006

Heathcote Wine Region, in Central Victoria, has a rapidly growing reputation as a great place to grow Shiraz. The region features a deep strip of rare, ancient, red Cambrian soil with excellent moisture retention characteristic virtually eliminating the need for irrigation. It is this red soil that gives Heathcote Shiraz its distinctive character.

The combination of low rainfall, hot summers and the red Cambrian soil creates a challenging environment in which the Shiraz vines thrive, albeit producing low yields and small berries with intense flavours.

Halliday's 2007 Wine Companion 5 Stars - 95 Points - "Glorious colour; big. rich, condensed fruit and ample tannins; floods the mouth with flavour.
