2023 Even Keel Heathcote Shiraz
REGION
Heathcote, VIC
TASTING
On the nose violets, lavender, spice and pepper meet with dark plum and blue fruits, ground coffee and earth. On the palate it’s refreshing and mineral with ferrous ironstone. Again, the nose carries through to the palate. Savoury and structural with a pleasingly refreshing finish.
WINEMAKING
The fruit is handpicked and 30% whole bunched pressed and vinified. A minimal amount of sulfur is added and left in large format and seasoned barrels for a total of 10 months.
VINEYARD
A blend of two vineyards from Heathcote both on east-facing slopes at 300m above sea level, from Mt. Ida and pt 23 clones of shiraz.
VITICULTURE
We purchase our fruit from the vineyards, in partnership with growers, however we do use our own fruit from young vines. We grow, make and farm our vineyards using a philosophy of sustainability and regenerative agriculture, applying a mix of biological, bio-dynamic and organic practices.
REVIEW
“The nose is floral and deeply scented, with dark fruit aromas of mulberries, boysenberries, violets and ferric earth. The palate is full-bodied with finely integrated tannins and balanced acidity, giving notes of blackcurrants, mocha, tobacco leaves, graphite and dried herbs. Supple, fresh and velvety tannins. Drink or hold”. 93/100, Ryan Montgomery – James Suckling
