Trentham Estate Reserve Heathcote Shiraz 2023

This Heathcote Shiraz is part of our carefully selected Reserve range that aims to epitomise the best these regions have to offer.

THE WINE 
Rich and balanced showing lifted fruit aromas of plum, dark cherry and chocolate. A long, persistent palate well balanced with fruit sweetness and fine mocha oak.

THE VINEYARD
Sourced from a single vineyard in the middle of the renowned Heathcote region; a region famous for producing premium Shiraz. The vineyard’s Cambrian soil allows the vines to consistently produce ripe, full flavoured fruit rich in berry and spice flavours with dark, deep red colour. THE

WINEMAKING 
The 2023 Heathcote vintage was quite cool and wet but did produce some exceptional fruit for well positioned vineyards – as this vineyard was. The fruit was harvested in late March, showing great colour and ripeness. The juice was fermented on skins for 6 days, before pressing and aging in French and American oak barrels. After 16 months the wine was revatted and bottled at the winery
