The specific parcel of vines this fruit comes from is at the highest block on deep red, rocky Cambrian soils on a cooler easterly facing slope. The picking date is carefully assessed in order to capture fruit vibrancy and freshness whilst capturing the typical mouthfilling richness and length of the region. The wine is made in 1000 litre open vats, fermented with ambient yeast and matured in French barrels, 20% new. The yield, harvest date and winemaking is deliberately aimed at producing a wine of regional authenticity in a style highlighting fragrance, vitality, finesse and harmony. Production typically varies from 350-450 dozen per vintage.

"There is a pleasing consistency in the run of vintages of this wine we have been making since 2001. Here, there is almost a Chateauneuf-like sweet fruit and mineral interplay. The nose is very fresh and pure with raspberry and dark plum characters underpinning a delicious fragrance. The palate is vibrant and driven and is showing a pleasing increase in structure as the vines are a decade old now. This style of Shiraz, and Heathcote Shiraz at that, is interestingly finding an increasing audience. When we began making wine from this vineyard in 2001 we were asked why we were harvesting so early with fruit that was not 'physiologically ripe' and why would we not be producing a sweeter, plumier style of wine. There's an essay in this I know but my preference is for wine that shows freshness, vibrancy, purity of red and dark fruits and is not dominated by sweetness nor heavy, dry tannins." - Michael Dhillon
