Tasting Notes
The Stefani Heathcote Shiraz 2020 opens with a deep, brooding ruby-purple hue that hints at the concentration within. On the nose, fragrant waves of dark plum, blackberry compote, and cracked black pepper emerge with striking clarity — a hallmark of cool-climate Heathcote Shiraz. Subtle violet florals and a whisper of smoked meat add intrigue and complexity. On the palate, the wine is richly textured yet refined, delivering layers of dark cherry, boysenberry, and licorice root underpinned by fine-grained tannins that speak to the region's ancient Cambrian soils. Cedary oak integrates seamlessly, lending structure without overwhelming the fruit. The finish is long, savoury, and persistent, with lingering notes of dark spice and iron-tinged minerality that are quintessentially Heathcote in character.
