The quality of fruit and winemaking speaks volumes as to how this wine has turned out. The nose is abundant with red and blue fruits also seen on the palate, which is juicy, full bodied and underpinned by fine tannins. Further breathing reveals more layers of flavour and complexity after the initial tranche of bright fruits. A superb example of this most versatile of varietals

The Syrah patch was planted in the mid 1940’s and yields a microscopic 250-300 dozen per annum. The Sandown Syrah patch is west facing and features significant ironstone content. The site yields a signature incense like spice throughout the fruit and makes for a highly exotic expression of Blewitt Springs Syrah. Cola, sarsaparilla, incense, blackcurrant, blueberry, black olive, Italian leather, Sandalwood and roasted meat are all on display with recessed power woven throughout this highly perfumed and multi-layered, seamless example.

One of only two single vineyard wines ever made by Heartland. The quality of the 2015 was too good to ignore, hence this small volume wine was created.Deep red to black. Spiced currant, leather, crushed leaf and cedar oak. Very fresh for its age, with a beautiful texture, plush mouthfeel, lovely secondary complexity, a still-primary dark fruit core, and notes of chocolate and liquorice to finish.
