Mitchelton Heathcote Shiraz is a bold, regional red from Victoria’s Heathcote. It delivers dense blackberry and plum fruit, enriched by mocha, vanilla oak, and pepper spice, supported by sturdy, finely grained tannins. A robust partner for grilled beef, lamb, and aged cheeses; can be enjoyed now with decanting or allowed to soften with a few years of cellaring.
