Vintage 2022 delivered warm days and cool nights, providing a long, slow maturation period. The result is a wine that is densely packed with rich, dark primary fruits and a palate that is sweet, supple and rounded. This wine is aged for a short period in a combination of French and American oak. This adds a spiced structural element that enhances complexity and interest.

Dark purple vibrant red in colour, the aromas are intensely berry driven intermingled with plum pudding spice and freshly ground coffee. The palate is concentrated and full of primary fruit flavours that are held together by silky tannins and syrupy fruit persistence, a complex and layered wine.

Grown on the old cattle holding yards and hand-picked from the old vines at our Slaughterhouse Paddock Vineyard, this wine is made to reflect the power and richness of Heathcote Shiraz. Ripe, robust and generously flavoured, this beautifully crafted shiraz offers an infusion of dark berry fruits and cedary oak-derived spices.

Bright dark red purple in colour, this wine is hypnotic – a floral bouquet entwined with fresh red berries and sweetly spiced French oak highlights. These aromas combine to produce a wine that is both complex and engaging. The palate is balanced, fresh and alluring coupled with fine yet supportive tannins and vibrant primary fruit flavours.

In the glass, the Heirloom Alcala McLaren Vale Grenache 2021 shows a bright ruby color with purple hues. On the nose, it offers enticing aromas of red berries, cherries, and floral notes, with a hint of spice and oak. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a silky texture and a balanced acidity. The flavors of ripe red fruits are complemented by a touch of minerality and a long, smooth finish.

Heirloom Vineyards A'Lambra Barossa Shiraz 2021 is a full-bodied and robust red wine made from Shiraz grapes grown in the Barossa Valley wine region in South Australia. This wine offers an intense aroma of dark berries, chocolate, and spices, with a hint of vanilla and toasty oak. On the palate, the wine is rich and complex, with flavours of black cherry, blackberry, and plum, complemented by a subtle note of pepper and a long, lingering finish.

Heirloom Vineyards Adelaide Hills Pinot Noir 2022 is a premium wine crafted from handpicked grapes grown in the cool climate region of Adelaide Hills, South Australia. This wine showcases a beautiful ruby red color with aromas of ripe cherry, raspberry, and hints of spice. On the palate, the wine is elegant and refined with a silky texture, showcasing flavors of red fruits, subtle oak and delicate tannins.

Black purple and very deep in colour. Vibrant. Classic tempranillo aromatics of black cherry, pepper, cherry pip, African Violets, cola nut, spearmint, and - of course - a 2B pencil's lead. Juicy yet dry, but then again tempranillo is a creature of split, multiple personalities. There are the fruity shiraz-like flavours of earth and plums; and the silkiness of texture and acidity more often associated with pinot noir. At each stage of the palate there is an interplay with fruit and acid and tannin, making this an ever-engaging red wine. The final highlight is the never-ending length of the wine.

Dark purple density, with flashes of vermillion, the rim edge shines like a brand new cricket ball. Kale and rose petal, cinnamon and nutmeg, liqueur chocolate and blackberry. This is an evenly matched tussle between fruit aromatics and winemaking bouquet, with the noble and just fruit winning. Savoury, spicy and sweet.

Purple-velvet. Deep and dark; bright, and complete with a beautiful rim-edge mirroring the parallax of the universe. Fresh plums ever so ripe but plucked from the tree at dawn when you are still remembering the evening before. Mulberry from a tree nearby, blackberry from the dusty laneway; bay leaf, lavender, roses wild and nutmeg. Deep brooding aromatics that reveal little but yet say all.
