Purple to red in colour, the nose has stewed cherry, savoury plum and roasted meats in an atypical fashion to what many would expect from a Heathcote Shiraz, no doubt due to the restrained 13.5% alcohol.
The palate, is long, firm and complex with dark berry fruits supported by tight grained oak and a mineral acidity, the tannins are graphite like in structure and will soften and develop greater complexity over time in the bottle.
Greenstone seem to be producing a distinct style of Heathcote Shiraz that is less fruit driven, but packed full of elegance and character.
