Heirloom Vineyards Barossa Shiraz 2017

Heirloom was listed as one of Halliday’s Best New Wineries in 2012, and just four short years later achieved an impressive 5 red star status and an astonishing array of 94+ scores. Heirloom’s mission is to preserve and champion South Australia’s unique old vineyards and varieties. Along the way, they’re turning out some simply outstanding wines. “The dense crimson hue tells you a rich and complex bouquet and palate will follow, and so it does. It unfolds a velvet-trimmed palate redolent of black fruits, plum and a savoury finish to provide length and balance. The tannins are unexpectedly fine...95 points” (Halliday).
