Heathcote’s wine history stretches back to the mid 1800’s. the ancient red Cambrian soils and Mediterranean climate have given the region an international reputation. We enjoy blends of the Southern Rhone in France and this is our interpretation of those styles.
TASTING NOTES
Traditional winemaking had resulted in a wine showing lifted aromatics of violets, red fruits and spices with full flavours, soft tannins and a lingering finish.
A blend for all occasions Enjoy!
