Pastiche Shiraz
Showing a subdued nose of crushed flowers and dried cherries, this tour-de-force is laden with black plums and leather on the palate.
Crank up the barbecue to see this wine at its best.
Pastiche Shiraz is made in a medium bodied style, blended from selected blocks at our Tranter Rd vineyard to express the beauty and personality of Heathcote in a lifted, aromatic style with intensity of fruit balanced by the influence of moderate oak and savoury tannins.
Suitable for vegans.

Vineyard
Block 2 and 3 of our Tellurian vineyard, in Tranter Rd, Toolleen, growing in Cambrian soils formed over 500-million years. Deep, rich, decomposed greenstone rock and limestone with soil depths up to 2m allow roots to reach deep, while relatively low fertility controls vigour and yield.
Winemaking Notes
Grapes mostly fermented in 4-5 tonne open top fermenters between 14-24 days on skins, with hand plunging or pump overs twice per day. 15% whole bunch fermentation. 10 months maturation; 5% American oak and 95% in mostly seasoned French oak (10% new) in a combination of puncheons, demi muids and barriques prior to filtration and bottling.
