Medium red in colour , the nose shows plum and stewed dark cherry characters that are enhanced by rich oak inputs.
The 2010 Gwen is a full bodied Shiraz that is an excellent example of how Heathcote Shiraz soaks up and benefits from quality oak inputs. The wine has gentle spices that come into play on the mid to back palate.
The tannins are taught and firm on the back palate and should continue to soften over time , with enough fruit and acid to ensure a good cellaring future.
The finish has good length of deep plum and rich oak.
