Heartland Directors Cut Shiraz

The flagship wine has blackberry jam and dark chocolate mousse with hints of vanilla and cinnamon running through the palate. The palate offers purple fruit with hints of refreshing rosewater and rich aniseed. The finish is long and refreshing.

The grapes are selected from some of the best Shiraz vineyards in the region. These vineyards are chosen for the consistent intensity and texture of the fruit. The strictest pruning techniques are used. The fruit for Directors’ Cut Shiraz was harvested at night and then crushed to small open top stainless-steel fermenters. After 24 hours of skin contact fermentation was commenced with our Rhône isolate yeast. Following 11 days of cool fermentation on skins and pumped over 3 times daily, the wine was transferred to French and American oak hogsheads for 14 months maturation.

From its inception in 1999, Heartland's ethos has been to create wines of balance, texture and a distinctive Australian identity, with a focus on Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz.
