I’d actually been a bit off Heathcote Shiraz after I was last year boffed fairly and squarely in the face by one. But I’d recently the virtual winemaker Adam Foster, who is also the sommelier at local restaurant Three, One, Two and then I saw it or sale at Annie Smithers. I picked up a bottle.

And I was pleasantly surprised by this wine which is made on the premises of another winemaker, Bresse at Harcort (which is another story). The alcohol content wasn’t too high and while it is full bodied, it wasn’t too big a red wine and displayed very subtle characteristics. Who ever said i contradict myself? It had some very attractive spicy and dried fruit aromas.

Perhaps, it’s time to re-open my palate to Heathcote wines.
