Strikingly black-red and violet. Grated dark chocolate and a dusting of cocoa; Christmas Cake or rather pudding. Red and dark berries at the late Summer end of the spectrum. It is the interplay between the dark fruit perfume (blackberries, blueberries and mulberries) and the heightened aromatics of plum, prune and fresh herbs that make the wine so enticing.
This Heirloom Vineyards Shiraz was produced from our best Barossa Shiraz Vineyard whose clones and viticulture embody the very best in cutting edge but old school viticulture and winemaking. Hand tended vines, sorted bunch-by-bunch, naturally open fermented, basket pressed and stored in French oak barriques from bespoke coopers.
Zar and Elena Brooks, of Dandelion Vineyards fame, founded Heirloom Vineyards in order to make wines from a selection of their best fruit. “Our aim,” says Zar, “is to preserve the best of tradition (the old world of wine and our unique old vineyards) and to champion the best clones of each variety planted in the most appropriate sites, embracing the principles of organic and biodynamic farming.”
