Tasting Notes
The Boucher Heathcote Shiraz opens with an inviting and complex bouquet of dark plum, crushed blackberry, and violets, underpinned by a distinctive ironstone minerality that is the hallmark of Heathcote's Cambrian soil. On the palate, this wine is rich and generously structured, delivering waves of black cherry, dark chocolate, and cracked black pepper, with a thread of smoked meat and cedar weaving through the mid-palate. The tannins are firm yet polished, providing excellent backbone without austerity. The finish is long, warming, and persistent, with lingering spice and a savory earthiness that speaks clearly to its Central Victorian origins.
