Heathcote Winery Mail Coach Shiraz 2023 x 6
2023
MAIL COACH SHIRAZ
The goldfield folk expected Thomas Craven’s mail service —
the region’s first — to deliver.
Our own Mail Coach does the same, consistently packed with
what one expects from a true Heathcote shiraz: richness,
power, spice and elegance.
Here, grapes grow on ancient red soil...where an abandoned
mine shaft hints at a history of gold sold and traded to
Craven, and a bark-carved gumtree gives a glimpse into the
lives of the land’s original inhabitants.
VINEYARD
Grown predominantly on ancient red Cambrian soils, this
wine is made from a blend of our two estate vineyards. With
clonal and soil diversity between the vineyards, this Shiraz
captures the essence of what makes Heathcote a truly world
class Shiraz producing wine region.
HARVEST
The fruit is hand harvested and whole berry fermented in
individual batches to preserve the clonal diversity. French and
American oak is used to add structure, elegance and spice.
Full of deep dark concentrated fruit, we add a small amount
of Viognier to highlight the existing fruit, adding an extra layer
of complexity to the wine.
TASTING NOTE
Dark purple vibrant red in colour, the aromas are intensely
berry driven intermingled with plum pudding spice and
freshly ground coffee. The palate is concentrated and full of
primary fruit flavours that are held together by silky tannins
and syrupy fruit persistence, a complex and layered wine.
