Built around Syrah, with support from Cabernet Sauvignon, Mourvèdre and Nebbiolo, this is a wine that leans into structure, depth and quiet complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"652\" data-end=\"1029\"\u003eSourced from organic vineyards across Heathcote’s mineral rich soils, the wine is fermented with a light touch before spending 18 months in seasoned hogshead barrels. The use of older oak keeps the focus on fruit and texture, allowing each variety to play its role without dominance. The result is a wine that feels both grounded and balanced, with a natural sense of cohesion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1031\" data-end=\"1284\"\u003eDark plum, blackberry and cassis lead into savoury spice, dried herbs and a touch of earth. There is a gentle grip from the Nebbiolo, structure from the Cabernet and warmth from the Syrah, all held together by fresh acidity and a smooth, rounded finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1286\" data-end=\"1430\"\u003eA versatile and quietly serious red that speaks to both place and blend.
