Tasting Notes:
William Heath, purchased a section of land in the Eden Valley in the 1860’s naming it Heathvale. Wine production was phased out in the 1920's to make way for apricots and apples before current owners Trevor and Faye March began replanting in 1987. The first vintage was in 1990 and a relationship with Bethany wine was established. Now under their own label, Heathvale crush approximately 50 tonnes across all varieties. This shiraz is a luscious, velvety wine, perfectly ripened. Smooth and bold, laden with sweet blackberry fruit, chocolate hints, toasty oak and a ripple of black pepper typical of the Eden Valley. It does need 30-40 minutes breathing to open up and truly express itself, giving some extra layers of flavour and length of palate.
Depth, flavour and drinkability are the hallmarks here. Outstanding for the price.
