2024 Buckshot Vineyard Heathcote Shiraz

A plush blue to black fruited Heathcote Shiraz with an underlying freshness to the long juicy finish.

Dense inky black heart with a dark purple hue. Fragrant freshly crushed blackberry, liquorice and dark plum scents combine with inky scorched earth, vanillin cedar and peppered dried herb notes. Medium to full in body, the palate is generously endowed with plush dark plum, blackberry, liquorice and ripe blueberry fruits. Spicy vanillin cedar, inky earth and blackpepper elements sit in the background. Polished fine grained tannin structure with an underlying freshness to the long juicy finish.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.
Alc. 14%

Other Reviews….
We know Heathcote shiraz has power, but it can also have elegance. Cue this impressive young shiraz from Rob and Meegan Peebles which combines both qualities. Brilliant dark purple hues. Florals, wild herbs and mint rise from the glass with dark fruits, blueberry, plum and dark spices – lifted, fragrant and so pretty. Savoury black olive notes are introduced on the palate together with a solid base of ripe fruit, spice, chocolate and earth. Well defined in tannin, but there is an enduring elegance that so delights. Drink by 2033.
