2024 Sanguine Estate Progeny Shiraz

A youthful, amply fruited medium to full bodied Heathcote Shiraz.

Over the last decade or two Sanguine Estate have steadily built a reputation as one of Heathcote’s top producers making rich, intensely flavoured wines that have brought a loyal following. Their entry level Shiraz ‘Progeny’ is consistently one of the districts best buys. Ben Riggs continues to consult the Hunter family in their endeavours. Maturation takes place in predominately French oak barriques, approximately 15% new, for a period of 12 months.
Impenetrable pitch black heart with a deep dark red black hue. Pronounced liquorice and black cherry scents fill the nostrils followed by some blackberry juice, vanillin cedar and subtle peppered earth notes. Rich juicy blackberry, liquorice and dark plum fruits carry medium to full body weight with spicy vanillin cedar, earth and peppered fennel elements lining the back half. Slightly grainy tannins and fresh underlying acidity with a youthful, amply fruited, mid length conclusion.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.
Alc. 14.8%
