Peregrine Ridge

Heathcote Shiraz

Amazing example of both Aussie Shiraz AND sparkling. Full of flavour without the unnecessary spice. — a year ago

Tellurian

Pastiche Heathcote Shiraz 2017

Mild fragrance of flowers and berries. Slight acidity, but enough punch. Will definitely hold up to burgers tonight! — 3 years ago

Tyrrell's Wines

Lunatiq Heathcote Shiraz 2000

The first thing I tasted was salt, and that was: uh oh. But after 20 minutes, cranberry, nutmeg, a little mint, raspberry, definitely not as meaty as other Aussie Shiraz and not what I expected, but very enjoyable once my expectations were reset. — 4 years ago

Emily's Paddock Shiraz Cabernet Franc 2005

Wow, really impressive. So tightly wound but with gorgeous structure and fruit. I would have expected a much higher Cab Franc percentage. So fine and sophisticated, loved it. — 8 months ago

Yering Station

Yarra Valley Heathcote Shiraz Viognier Blend 2019

Took some time to open up but became delicious. Lots of fruit but not sweet. The splash of viognier softened the Syrah a bit. — 9 months ago

Wild Duck Creek Estate

Duck Muck Shiraz 1997

Gor
9.6

Pours dark opaque color. Expressive nose of blueberries, ripe strawberries, pomegranates, violets, cherries, leather, sweet tobacco, hint of salted caramel, vanilla. Intense concentration and high acidity on the palate with the lift that’s reminiscent or even exceeds Penfolds Grange. So much respect for this wine just absolutely floored at the power and balance. This will last decades. — 3 years ago

@Ron R well I’m a believer now! Surprised my top two were Aussie vs Cote Roties and US syrahs…

Vinea Marson

Heathcote Sangiovese 2017

Absolutely delicious. Drank after a bottle of French champagne and what an absolute treat — 2 years ago

Tar and Roses

Shiraz 2014

Opaque dark purple color. This wine took a while to open up. Not that great right out of the bottle but this wine developed with some air. Aromas were very savory and organic. (Violets, cedar, bramble and just a hint of blackberry). Blueberry , Blackberry and dark plum fruit flavors evolved with time. Not the fruit bomb I was expecting. Nice hint of smokey oak on the finish. — 3 years ago
